Yes. Its bizarre. The drivers compile with the wrong method prototype. I
updated the fbdev drivers to the new backlight_device_register and it
compiled as expect. There are a few other problems with teh fbdev drivers.
I will send a patch.

Right back from exams and with lots of spare time :)
I got your patch, so I'm going to try your patch and exchange all the
"platform_device_*" stuff with your display class and move ks0108,
cfag12864b and cfag12864bfb to drivers/video/display/
