Dell Latitude 3160 does not have keyboard backlight, but there is a
sysfs interface for it, which does nothing at all.
KBD_LED_ON_TOKEN is the only token can be found. Since it doesn't have
KBD_LED_OFF_TOKEN or KBD_LED_AUTO_*_TOKEN, it should be safe to assume
at least two tokens should be present to support keyboard backlight.
Not all models have ON token - they may have multiple AUTO tokens instead.
Models which do not use SMBIOS token to control keyboard backlight, also
have this issue. Brightness level is 0 on these models. Verified on Dell
Inspiron 3565.
Reports keyboard backlight is supported only when at least two modes are
present.

v4:
Change commit log - not all models have ON token.
v3:
Change the logic, there should be at least two modes present to claim it
supports backlight. Suggested by Pali Rohár.
v2:
The only token can be found is actually KBD_LED_ON_TOKEN, which is BIT(5),
instead of KBD_LED_OFF_TOKEN. Change commit log accordingly.
Use token bit to make the intention more clear.
Also consider kbd_mode_levels_count and kbd_info.levels, suggested by
Pali Rohár.
Use XOR to simplify the bitmask comparison, suggested by
Andy Shevchenko.
