Description Bastien Nocera 2013-10-11 07:47:48 UTC 
Similarly to the screen backlight save and restore, we should make it possible to save and restore keyboard backlight levels.

Add support for saving/restoring keyboard backlights

Piggy-backing on the display backlight code, this saves and restores
keyboard backlights on supported devices.

The detection code matches that of UPower:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/tree/src/up-kbd-backlight.c#n173

NOTE: Untested.

Thanks for the patch.

I applied it with a minor change: the matching on the kernel name was a bit too strict for some keyboard backlight devices (I could find at least "{samsung,asus,smc}::kbd_backlight" in the kernel).

Please check that this makes sense for you: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=1a0464230c08506c3fd715ff7cc56660df3a85ca
