Making this IS_REACHABLE() was still wrong, as that just determines whether the lower-level backlight code would be reachable from the panel driver. However, with CONFIG_DRM=y and CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m, the drm_panel_of_backlight is left out of drm_panel.o but the condition tells the driver that it is there, leading to multiple link errors such as ERROR: "drm_panel_of_backlight" [drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-sitronix-st7701.ko] undefined! ERROR: "drm_panel_of_backlight" [drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-sharp-ls043t1le01.ko] undefined! ERROR: "drm_panel_of_backlight" [drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-seiko-43wvf1g.ko] undefined! ERROR: "drm_panel_of_backlight" [drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-ronbo-rb070d30.ko] undefined! ERROR: "drm_panel_of_backlight" [drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-rocktech-jh057n00900.ko] undefined!

Change the condition to check for whether the function was actually part of the drm module. This version of the patch survived a few hundred randconfig builds, so I have a good feeling this might be the last one for the export.

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.
