Commit 72fee6b0a3 ("fbdev: Restrict FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC to SuperH")
disabled availablity of the SH_MOBILE_LCDC driver on the RENESAS arch.
This innocent change has a significant side-effect on the ARM's
multi_v7_defconfig, because FB_BACKLIGHT symbol is no longer selected,
what in turn leaves BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE symbol selected only as
a module. The latter disables some backlight related code in the DRM
core, because the DRM core is set to be compiled-in in this defconfig.
This leaves all DRM display panels without integrated backlight control,
even if the needed modules have been properly loaded and probed.
Fix this by selecting BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE to be compiled-in in
multi_v7_defconfig.

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.
