Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option

Since the removal of generic_bl driver from the source tree in commit
7ecdea4a0226 ("backlight: generic_bl: Remove this driver as it is
unused") BACKLIGHT_GENERIC config option became obsolete as well and
therefore subject to clean-up from all configuration files.

This series introduces patches to address this removal, separated by
architectures in the kernel tree.

Changes in v2:
- Collect all Acked-by: and Reviewed-by: tags
- Include ARM SOC maintainer list to recipients

arm64: defconfig: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
MIPS: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
