Do not select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE from FB_BACKLIGHT. The latter only controls backlight support within fbdev core code and data structures. Make fbdev drivers depend on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and let users select it explicitly.

Seems wrong. BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is of type tristate. There are more of those, please check. Helge
