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.

I've had this one lying around for a long time, it is still needed
but I am not sure which solution is best here. This version is
probably the least invasive, but it does not solve the bigger
problem around too many 'select' statements in drm
