Just to be clear, I was suggesting leaving the "disabled" at the
pwm-leds level but removing the one at the "keyboard_backlight" level.
I don't expect us to have any pwm_leds on herobrine devices that
aren't for the keyboard backlight. If/when we do we can always add the
two-levels of disabled back in...
