Hi Arnd,
Thank you for the patch.

I believe the dependency should be made optional. DPI panels that don't need
backlight control should be supported by a kernel that has backlight support
compiled out. How about something like

Subject: [PATCH] backlight: Define API stub when backlight support is disabled
The of_find_backlight_by_node() function has a stubbed when CONFIG_OF is
disabled, but drivers that use backlights optionally will still fail to
link if backlight support is disabled. Fix it by defining the stub when
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is disabled.

We might need to create stubs for backlight_force_update() and
backlight_device_set_brightness() too.
