When CONFIG_DRM_I915 is set to 'y' and CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
is set to 'm', we encountered an ld.lld error during the build process:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_get_by_name
>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:955
>>> vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_register)
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_register
>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:971
>>> vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_register)
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_unregister
>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:999
>>> vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_unregister)
This issue occurred because intel_backlight_device_register and
intel_backlight_device_unregister were enclosed within
\#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) and #endif directives.
However, according to Kconfig, CONFIG_DRM_I915 will select
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE only if ACPI is enabled.
This led to an error, which can be resolved by removing the
conditional statements related to ACPI.
