From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>
backlight_register_notifier and backlight_unregister_notifier have
been unused since
commit 6cb634d0dc85 ("ACPI: video: Remove code to unregister acpi_video
backlight when a native backlight registers")
With those not being called, it means that the backlight_notifier
list is always empty.
Remove the functions, the list itself and the enum used in the
notifications.
