??30 is probably not good characteristic, but I mean all those Thinkpad 
laptops like T430, x230, E430, X1 (1st) and their successors (T440, 
T450, X1 3rd, ...) All those which are from Ivy Bridge processor 
generation (and new).

But basically it cover all Thinkpad laptops which have backlight 
keyboard. Older Thinkpad laptops had only light in bezel.

So if you have better idea for commit message, feel free to change it.
