I spent some hours this weekend trying to improve the Kconfig
logic around BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and ACPI_VIDEO.

I did manage to change something but I did not manage to make something
that is a real improvement to the current situation.
So everything abandoned.

As we need this fixed I have applied your patch to drm-misc-next.
Thanks,

	Sam
