Invalid .config, as ACPI_VIDEO depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, which is not set.

This breakage is the infamous "select in Kconfig doesn't" bug,
which has apparently claimed a new victim, STUB_POULSBO:

(STUB_POULSBO && HAS_IOMEM && PCI && ACPI || DRM_I915 && <choice> && 
AGP_INTEL && ACPI || DRM_NOUVEAU && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && 
DRM && PCI && ACPI) selects ACPI_VIDEO which has unmet direct dependencies 
(ACPI && X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE && VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL && INPUT)

    gpu: Add Intel GMA500(Poulsbo) Stub Driver
    
    Currently, there have no GMA500(Poulsbo) native video driver to 
support
    intel opregion. So, use this stub driver to enable the acpi backlight
    control sysfs entry files by requrest acpi_video_register.
