This is on linux-next. It must be with BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m and DRM_PANEL_RAYDIUM_RM68200=y, meaning that it should be sufficient to do depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE || BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=n to force DRM_PANEL_RAYDIUM_RM68200 to be a loadable module whenever BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m. For the patch, I looked at what the other drivers in the same directory do and followed their example. I see three options here: 1. update my patch changelog with the explanation I wrote here but leave it untouched 2. use the more elaborate dependency (after testing) but not change the others 3. change all panel drivers with a backlight dependency the same way, possibly with a helper symbol like config BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE_OPTIONAL tristate default m if BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m default y Arnd

Like many other panel drivers, this one fails to build when backlight support is disabled: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-raydium-rm68200.o: In function `rm68200_probe': panel-raydium-rm68200.c:(.text+0x14a): undefined reference to `devm_of_find_backlight' This adds the appropriate dependency.
