--- Comment #3 from Hector Martin <mar...@marcan.st> ---
This is a major power management bug, as leaving the keyboard backlight on
while the laptop is closed wastes significant battery power. On An Apple M1
MacBook Air, having the backlight on at full brightness with the lid closed
causes a 40% (!) drop in idle battery life (from 28 hours to 17 hours, measured
with an idle KDE Plasma session with the lid closed and the latest
linux-asahi-edge kernel).
It's "just an LED backlight", but the impact is *massive* on machines with good
power management like Apple Silicon Macs.
I recommend increasing the priority, as this really isn't "wishlist" for some
machines, it's critical functionality. I'm sure it matters less for machines
that chew through batteries even while doing nothing, but not all do :)
