backlight: cgbc: Remove redundant X86 dependency

The backlight driver depends on the MFD cgbc-core driver, which already

backlight: apple_bl: Use acpi_video_get_backlight_type()

On some MacBooks both the apple_bl and the apple-gmux backlight drivers
may be able to export a /sys/class/backlight device.

To avoid having 2 backlight devices for one LCD panel until now
the apple-gmux driver has been calling apple_bl_unregister() to move
the apple_bl backlight device out of the way when it loads.

Similar problems exist on other x86 laptops and all backlight drivers
which may be used on x86 laptops have moved to using
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to determine whether they should load
or not.

Switch apple_bl to this model too, so that it is consistent with all
the other x86 backlight drivers.

Besides code-simplification and consistency this has 2 other benefits:

1) It removes a race during boot where userspace will briefly see
an apple_bl backlight and then have it disappear again, leading to e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

2) This allows user to switch between the drivers by passing
acpi_backlight=apple_gmux or acpi_backlight=vendor on the kernel
commandline.

backlight: Delete the OT200 backlight driver

This driver has no in-kernel users. The device can only be populated
by board files since it does not support device tree nor ACPI,
and nothing in the kernel creates a device named "ot200-backlight".

This driver has been in the kernel since 2012. If it is used by
out-of-tree code that code should have been upstreamed by now,
it's been 8 years.

It uses the idiomatic forked GPIO of the CS5535 which combines
pin control and GPIO into its private custom interface, which
causes me a headache because that is not how we do things these
days: we creates separate pin control and GPIO drivers.

Delete this unused driver.
