Another problem is that N900 has _6_ backlight LEDs. Named lp5523::kb1..6. ... Which does means desktop software will probably not pick them up :-(.=20 I guess we could have "/sys/class/kbd_light/brightness" that would control all of them with one write. Next question is.. apparently there are some keyboards that have per-key RGB backlight... but maybe we can just call that "weird enough" and ignore...
