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.

[...]

While my plan was to only take the arm specific patches, it seems
nobody else has applied the other architecture specific ones,
but there have been a lot of Acks. Also, b4 makes it easy to
merge the entire branch, so I'll just take all of these.

Applied to arm/defconfig, thanks!

this one is already in mips-next.
