While the loss of keyboard-backlight functionality is certainly not
critical, in practice when building a kernel for desktops/laptops
(i.e. where this module would be used) I see no real reason why you'd
not have/want LEDS_CLASS enabled. So I'd agree with Dmitry that a
Kconfig depends-on is probably the preferred approach.
