Making FB_BACKLIGHT tristate by commit b4a1ed0cd18b ("fbdev: make FB_BACKLIGHT a tristate") caused unmet dependencies in some configurations:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for FB_BACKLIGHT Depends on [m]: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB [=m] Selected by [y]: - DRM_NOUVEAU [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=y] && PCI [=y] && MMU [=y] && DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT [=y] Selected by [m]: - FB_NVIDIA [=m] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB [=m] && PCI [=y] && FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT [=y] Fix it by making DRM_NOUVEAU select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT instead of FB_BACKLIGHT.
