  When CONFIG_DRM_I915 is set to 'y' and CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
is set to 'm', we encountered an ld.lld error during the build process:

	ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_get_by_name
	>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:955
	>>>               vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_register)

	ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_register
	>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:971
	>>>               vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_register)

	ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: backlight_device_unregister
	>>> referenced by intel_backlight.c:999
	>>>               vmlinux.o:(intel_backlight_device_unregister)

This issue occurred because intel_backlight_device_register and
intel_backlight_device_unregister were enclosed within
\#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) and #endif directives.
However, according to Kconfig, CONFIG_DRM_I915 will select
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE only if ACPI is enabled.
This led to an error, which can be resolved by removing the
conditional statements related to ACPI.

The real fix is to use

	depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE || BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=n

but in order to do that, you need to change a lot of places to depend
on, not select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, because otherwise you end up with
other dependency issues.

BR,
Jani.

Generally when you have a mixture of depends on and select on a kconfig
symbol, you'll eventually end up with dependency problems.

Using A to represent DRM_I915 and B to represent BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, 
as both A and B are tristate options, all the possibilities include:

1. A=n, B=n
2. A=m, B=n
3. A=y, B=n
4. A=n, B=m
5. A=m, B=m
6. A=y, B=m
7. A=n, B=y
8. A=m, B=y
9. A=y, B=y
Among them, only the 6th case (A=y, B=m) would lead to a compilation failure.

Based on your suggestion, I tested the following configuration:

    config A
        tristate "A Option"
        depends on B || B=n
    
    config B
        tristate "B Option"

I tested it using menuconfig, and found that the 6th combination (A=y, B=m) 
cannot be manually selected.

Specifically, if B=m, A can only be selected as either n or m.
If A=y and B is set to m, A automatically changes to m as well.

I believe there is no issue with the solution you provided.
Is there something that I might have overlooked?

Now that I understand what you said, I will make an effort to correct it.
