Since commit [1] consolidated console configuration in drivers/video/console, DUMMY_CONSOLE has always been enabled, since the dependency is always satisfied. There is no point in trying to allow it to be configured out, since (a) it's tiny, and (b) if VT_CONSOLE is enabled, we must have a working console driver by the time con_init(vt.c) runs, and only dummycon is guaranteed to work (vgacon may be configured in, but that doesn't mean we have a VGA device). So just remove the fake dependency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
