That is fine, the WMI driver won't land before then anyways.

Ack, I will send a v2 with a commit msg which makes it less likely
this gets picked into a stable series.
Note if it does end up in a stable series that is fine too, there
were plans to use the LPSS PWM driver to driver the kbd backlight
but those were never fulfilled so the ACPI PWM device getting
its default _STA return of 0 back on older kernels will not
matter.
