As far as I can tell this resolves the warning by making it impossible
to enable BACKLIGHT_KTD2801 unless a largely unrelated driver
(LEDS_KTD2692) is also enabled!

A better way to resolve this problem might be to eliminate the NEW_LEDS
dependency entirely:
~~~

Alternatively we could add a "depends on NEW_LEDS" alongside the
existing select or just make LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE user selectable.

It also looks like we should put back the GPIOLIB dependency to both
KTD2801 and KTD2692... and I'll take a mea-culpa for providing bad
advice during the review cycles!
