The i915 driver can use the backlight subsystem as an option, and usually selects it when CONFIG_ACPI is set. However it is possible to configure a kernel with modular backlight classdev support and a built-in i915 driver, which leads to a linker error: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_panel.o: In function `intel_backlight_device_register': intel_panel.c:(.text+0x2f58): undefined reference to `backlight_device_register' drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_panel.o: In function `intel_backlight_device_unregister': intel_panel.c:(.text+0x2fe4): undefined reference to `backlight_device_unregister' Add another Kconfig option to ensure the driver only tries to use the backlight support when it can in fact be linked that way. The new option is on by default to keep the existing behavior. This is roughly what other drivers like nouveau do as well.
