I don't deny there's an issue with i915 selecting CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE. I'm afraid previous attempts at fixing that have been a rabbit hole; new config errors pop up elsewhere. [citation needed].
That said, I thought we had enough duct tape in the Kconfig to keep the issues at bay. Since you're replying to linux-next, are you saying this is new? I wonder if something's changed elsewhere.
BR, Jani.
