In http://download.goldelico.com/letux-kernel/letux-4.10-rc8/src/CONFIG
we have backlight/pwm related:

CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=m
CONFIG_PWM=y
CONFIG_PWM_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_PWM_OMAP_DMTIMER=m

And for panel:

CONFIG_DRM_OMAP_PANEL_TPO_TD028TTEC1=m
