  • The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
    of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
    independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the
    lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
    effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.

    To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
    mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.
