Got it...
It has function up_kbd_backlight_find() which do:
/* find a led device that is a keyboard device */
while ((filename = g_dir_read_name (dir)) != NULL) {
if (g_strstr_len (filename, -1, "kbd_backlight") != NULL) {
dir_path = g_build_filename ("/sys/class/leds",
filename,
NULL);
break;
That suggests that it stops at the first matching device. Adding new
"virtual" led controlling 6 physical leds would be ugly. So... new
interface should be done.
