The patch titled
     backlight users need to select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     add-support-for-the-generic-backlight-device-to-the-toshiba-acpi-driver-fix.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into add-support-for-the-generic-backlight-device-to-the-toshiba-acpi-driver.patch

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: backlight users need to select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When compiling 2.6.19-rc2-mm1 we get the following link failures:

  drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0x3076): In function `toshiba_acpi_init':
    : undefined reference to `backlight_device_register'
  drivers/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x170): In function `toshiba_acpi_exit':
    : undefined reference to `backlight_device_unregister'

When we build an ACPI module which provides backlight support we need to
ensure that the backlight class device is selected.
