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
