On my thinkpad, keyboard light is controlled by
/sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:thinklight/brightness
(that's a bad name).
On n900, it is .../leds/kb0..kb6. Now we'd have kbd_backlight. I guess we should standartize on one name for this light, so that userspace has the chance to handle it automatically...
Also, neccessity of workqueues for LED setting is slowly being removed from the kernel, see LED mailing list for details.
Thanks, Pavel
