drm: make DRI1 drivers depend on BROKEN
The legacy DRI1 drivers expose highly broken interfaces to user-space. No modern system should enable them, or you will effectively allow user-space to circumvent most of your kernel security measures. The DRI1 kernel APIs are simply broken. User-space can always use vesafb/efifb/simplefb and friends to get working graphics. Lets hide the old drivers behind CONFIG_BROKEN. In case they turn out to be still used (really?), we can easily revert this and figure out a way to move them out of sight (e.g., moving all DRI1 drivers to drivers/gpu/dri1/).

Enable legacy DRI1 drivers. Those drivers expose unsafe and dangerous
APIs to user-space, which can be used to circumvent access
