Dear Debian folks,


The change *Include modules for Chromebook Plus display* [1] caused the 
DRM drivers to be included on a Intel Broadwell Dell laptop and AMD 
Ryzen desktop system.

> For MODULES=dep: adds backlight and pwm to the dep_modules_add sys-walk.

On the Intel Broadwell system, the backlight below exists.

     $ readlink -f /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
 
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight

On the desktop system, the ACPI Video Driver `video` (incorrectly) 
creates the backlight device below.

     $ readlink -f /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:26:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0


Kind regards,

Paul
