[PATCH 1/3] drm/omap: displays: panel-dpi: add backlight dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

The panel driver gained support for backlight but fails to link now
when that is disabled:

drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/displays/panel-dpi.o: In function `panel_dpi_probe_of':
panel-dpi.c:(.text.panel_dpi_probe_of+0xe8): undefined reference to `of_find_backlight_by_node'

This adds a dependency like we have for the other panel drivers.

The new S6E3HA2 driver fails to link when backlight is disabled:

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.

That would be nice in principle, but I fear this would cause additional
problems.

With BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m, you still get a link error when the user is
in a built-in driver. Using 'depends on' usually solves this (except for drivers
that cannot be modules).

There are three possible workarounds for this that I can think of:

- Use 'depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE || BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=n'
  in each driver that implements optional backlight support. We do
this elsewhere, but
  it's confusing and easy to get wrong.

- use IS_REACHABLE() instead of IS_ENABLED() when testing for
  backlight support. This will always result in a kernel that builds cleanly,
  but can be surprising for users when backlight support is a module that
  gets loaded at boot, but it is still not used.

- Make BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE a 'bool' symbol instead, and force the
  core API code to always be built-in or completely disabled. This makes
  it really easy to use, at the expense of a larger kernel image for those that
  currently use a loadable module.

FWIW I think this is the fix, and not a workaround.

"depends on FOO || FOO=n" is an expression used throughout the kernel,
and it accurately describes the dependency here. Of course, all drivers
implementing this must still wrap backlight class usage around
IS_ENABLED().
