From: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de> The i915 driver can use the backlight subsystem as an option, and usually selects it when CONFIG_ACPI is set. However it is possible to configure a kernel with modular backlight classdev support and a built-in i915 driver, which leads to a linker error:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_panel.o: In function `intel_backlight_device_register': intel_panel.c:(.text+0x2f58): undefined reference to `backlight_device_register' drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_panel.o: In function `intel_backlight_device_unregister': intel_panel.c:(.text+0x2fe4): undefined reference to `backlight_device_unregister' Change i915 to just 'depends on' for both BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and ACPI_VIDEO, which avoids a lot of the problems.
