I believe a "select" would be more appropriate here unless these backlights 
should be hidden if GPIOLIB is disabled. The catch with "select" is that there 
seems to be no way to throw in the "|| COMPILE_TEST" other GPIO-based 
backlights have and I'm not sure what to do about that.

Not really, I'll add it in v4.
