I can confirm this, my x230 has both. FWIW, BIOS hotkey

Dito for /proc/acpi/ibm/light.
We likely need to integrate better (future work) the new backlight
control with the thinklight control and the firmware interface in the
x230.
Is the ACPI AML for fn+space readable enough, or is it trapping directly
into SMM? Because if it interacts with the traditional higher-level
ACPI AML we already use to talk to the thinklight (and now to the
backlight), it should be relatively easy to fix the driver to better
support the x230.
I looked through the DSDT and SSDT AML on the T430 (which also has both
a keyboard backlight and ThinkLight) and couldn't deduce which method
was being invoked for Fn+Space or an analog to MLCG/MLCS for the
ThinkLight. However, that may be due to my inexperience interpreting
AML. I'll keep looking/learning.
I've posted the files online if anyone else has time/interest to take a
look: https://kevinlocke.name/misc/t430-acpi/
