After further looking at the problem, I'm actually not even sure, if my
approach is the best one at all.

The problem I was trying to fix was panel-simple (drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-
simple.c) checking for an optional backlight, while not depending on the
backlight-class itself.

As both components do not have a relationship, there exist the possibility of
panel-simply being build into the kernel while the backlight_class is build as
module. So while the IS_ENABLED check would define the prototype, panel-generic
would still miss the function when linking.

Should panel-generic simply depend in the backlight_class instead?


Thanks
Heiko
