This is the solution Daniel mentions:

  menuconfig DRM
      tristate "Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI 
support)"
      depends on (AGP || AGP=n) && !EMULATED_CMPXCHG && HAS_DMA
+   depends on (LCD_CLASS_DEVICE || LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=n)


We also have another problem: CONFIG_OF=y && CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=n
That will result in a missing symbol error.

You can try this change to include/linux/backlight.h:

-#ifdef CONFIG_OF
+#if defined(CONFIG_OF) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE)
  struct backlight_device *of_find_backlight_by_node(struct device_node 
*node);
  #else
  static inline struct backlight_device *
  of_find_backlight_by_node(struct device_node *node)
  {
      return NULL;
  }
  #endif

This will need to be a patch of its own since it's another subsystem.

You have to try the various kconfig variations to be sure, I'm no 
kconfig expert.
CONFIG_OF=y/n, CONFIG_DRM=y/m, CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=y/m/n
