Refactor backlight support so that the gma_backlight_enable() / gma_backlight_disable() / gma_backlight_set() functions used by the Opregion handle will also work if no backlight_device gets registered. This is a preparation patch for not registering the gma500's own backlight device when acpi_video should be used, since registering 2 backlight devices for a single display really is undesirable. Since the acpi-video interface often uses the OpRegion we need to keep the OpRegion functional even when dev_priv->backlight_device is NULL. As a result of this refactor the actual backlight_device_register() call is moved to the shared backlight.c code and all #ifdefs related to CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE are now also limited to backlight.c . No functional changes intended. This has been tested on a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600, cedarview) and a Sony Vaio vpc-x11s1e (Intel N540, poulsbo) laptop. Changes in v2: - Fix unused variable warnings when CONFIG_BACKLIGHT is not selected by marking the 2 variables as __maybe_unused.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
