Backlights controlled by i915.ko and only associated with its connectors
and also only associated with the intel_drmfb fbcon, controlled by
i915.ko. In this situation, we already handle adjusting the backlight
when the fbcon is blanked/unblanked and do not require backlight trying
to do the same.

Attempting to register with the fbdev as a client causes lockdep to warn
about a dependency cycle:

The fbdev notifier strikes again!

Last time I looked into this I think the proper solution would be to split
the backlight part from the other fbdev notifier (which is used by fbcon
for reacting to fbdev device reg/unreg events).

I think that would fix this too, with the added bonus of slightly
untangling the fbcon locking mess. And it's also the one part of
untangling this mess which should be possible without any trouble - I've
simply never done it since entirely getting rid of the fbdev notifier for
fbcon is a lot more work.
