Hello Sam,

thanks for your response.

This results in a dependency loop:

drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74: symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_HIMAX_HX8837
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig:51: symbol DRM_HIMAX_HX8837 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:143: symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is selected by FB_BACKLIGHT
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:187: symbol FB_BACKLIGHT depends on FB

Unfortunately I have no idea how to resolve it at the moment.

I suppose I can look further into it if necessary. Or is it okay if I
leave it at select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE for now?
