Thanks for your answer... Unfortunately I do not receive the emails.
Found the answer on the mailinlist homepage...
please cc my address directly, if any.

your config file helped !!!

CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=y

was missing!!!!!

furthermore you have:
CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_BACKLIGHT=y

I had:
CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_BACKLIGHT=y



so I think it would not be bad to add as many config files as many
relevant changes/patchces happen... and maybe they should be named
arch/arm/configs/gta02.patch.blahblah....


so drm works (your example gdrm-waitq etc. etc)


I can have fun again with the drm .. :)
