I reproduced the same build error.

Then, how about folding the following two patches into
one single patch? These two patches were already sent by Heiko Stübner.

  [PATCH] backlight: use of_find_backlight_by_node stub when backlight class disabled
  [PATCH] backlight: extend of_find_backlight_by_node stub-check to modules

Then, the one single patch will do as follows.

-#ifdef CONFIG_OF
+#if defined(CONFIG_OF) && (defined(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) || \
+			   defined(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE_MODULE))

In this case, I cannot find any build errors.
Thank you.

Best regards,
