commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4cf6c02fb0b8b216e446c1230cb8f1eb61763211
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

The "fb" framebuffer driver needs GPM (mouse support) to compile,
but not DirectFB or Xorg.

The .mk file already has an optional dependency on GPM, so it doesn't
need to be added there.

Also added a Kconfig comment for easier discovery of the GPM
requirement.
