However, I cannot reproduce it with mainline kernel 3.14-rc1.
1. make pxa255-idp_defconfig
2. Enabling all boards
(System Type -> Intel PXA2xx/PXA3xx Implementations -> ...)
3. Enabling all available backlight drivers as compiled-in objects (y)
In this case, the LM3630A and LP855X backlight drivers are compiled
properly as below:
drivers/video/backlight/lm3630a_bl.o
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.o
Would you check it with mainline kernel 3.14-rc1?
If the errors happen, please attach the .config file.
