Maybe we should decide if ::kbd_backlight LED suffix could be used also
for other LED devices and not only for those which are physically under
the keyboard.

At least I understand "keyboard backlight" as light which is under the
keyboard...

And more important, I was told that ThinkPad x230 comes in variant with
both ThinkLight (that LED upper the display) and keyboard backlight
(under they keyboard).

So I'm against merging ThinkLight and keyboard backlight to one sysfs
path...
