This patch is same as combination of previous, just contains all
changes in single patch file. Difference between v3.19-rc5 and
current version is just als code was moved to separate functions
and als backlight can be enabled via new sysfs attribute (like in
second patch which was sent).

I tested this patch on top of linus tree (commit 79513d0) and
keyboard backlight works fine.

Darren, what do you think, can be this patch which brings
keyboard backlight support finally moved to mainline kernel?
