This is now commit 8c5dc8d9f19c7992 ("video: backlight: Remove useless
BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT kernel symbol").

Below, we have:
config LCD_CLASS_DEVICE
tristate "Lowlevel LCD controls"
default m
help
This framework adds support for low-level control of LCD.
Some framebuffer devices connect to platform-specific LCD modules
in order to have a platform-specific way to control the flat panel
(contrast and applying power to the LCD (not to the backlight!)).
and:
config BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
tristate "Lowlevel Backlight controls"
default m
help
This framework adds support for low-level control of the LCD
backlight. This includes support for brightness and power.
Hence running "make oldconfig" on a .config where
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT was not set leads two to new
questions, where the answers default to "m".
Perhaps the "default m" statements should be removed?
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert
