[ Upstream commit 1b1ffc57a1b2edf58e803e463980b326765a237f ]
Dell Latitude 3160 does not have keyboard backlight, but there is a sysfs interface for it, which does nothing at all.
KBD_LED_ON_TOKEN is the only token can be found. Since it doesn't have KBD_LED_OFF_TOKEN or KBD_LED_AUTO_*_TOKEN, it should be safe to assume at least two tokens should be present to support keyboard backlight. Not all models have ON token - they may have multiple AUTO tokens instead.
Models which do not use SMBIOS token to control keyboard backlight, also have this issue. Brightness level is 0 on these models. Verified on Dell Inspiron 3565.
Reports keyboard backlight is supported only when at least two modes are present.
