backlight: generic_bl: Remove this driver as it is unused

2020-07-20T09:26:08Z

The backlight_bl driver required initialization using struct generic_bl_info. As there are no more references to this struct there is no users left. So it is safe to delete the driver. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov Signed-off-by: Lee Jones

genericbl_limit_intensity() is exported, but it is never called anywhere else. Fix the following sparse warning: drivers/video/backlight/generic_bl.c:59:6: warning: symbol 'genericbl_limit_intensity' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam Signed-off-by: Lee Jones
