Can we just toss the idea that BACKTLIGHT=n is a reasonable config for
drm drivers using backlights, and add depends BACKLIGHT to all of
them?

I mean this is a perfect source of continued patch streams to keep us
all busy, but beyond that I really don't see the point ... I frankly
have better things to do, and especially with the big drivers we have
making backlight optional saves comparitively nothing.
