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.

Andrey Zhizhikin (5):
  ARM: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  arm64: defconfig: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  MIPS: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  parisc: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  powerpc/configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option

For defconfigs I expect arch maintainers to do a make xxxdefconfig / make
savedefconfig / cp defconfig ... run now and then - this will remove
all such symbols.

If the patches goes in like they are submitted then:
