Backlight drivers implement struct backlight_ops.check_fb, which
uses struct fb_info in its interface. Replace the callback with one
that does not use fb_info.

In DRM, we have several drivers that implement backlight support. By
including <linux/backlight.h> these drivers depend on <linux/fb.h>.
At the same time, fbdev is deprecated for new drivers and likely to
be replaced on many systems.

This patchset is part of a larger effort to implement the backlight
code without depending on fbdev.

Patch 1 makes the backlight core match backlight and framebuffer
devices via struct fb_info.bl_dev. Patches 2 to 9 then go through
drivers and remove unnecessary implementations of check_fb. Finally,
patch 10 replaces the check_fb hook with controls_device, which
uses the framebuffer's Linux device instead of the framebuffer.

v4:
	* fix fb_bl_device() declaration and export
v3:
	* hide CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT behind fb_bl_device() (Lee)
	* if-else cleanups (Andy)
	* fix commit message of patch 2 (Andy)
v2:
	* fix hid-picolcd for CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT=n
	* fixes to commit messages

I assume the merge plan for this series is via drm-misc in one go?

Best regards

Okay, let's try this again.

Send off for more build testing based on v6.8.

Will report back once complete.
