[PATCH] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Add keyboard backlight toggle support

From: Chris Chiu
Date: Wed May 02 2018 - 02:02:48 EST


Some Asus laptops like UX550GE has hotkey (Fn+F7) for keyboard
backlight toggle. In this UX550GE, the hotkey incremet the level
of brightness for each keypress from 1 to 3, and then switch it
off when the brightness has been the max. This commit interprets
the code 0xc7 generated from hotkey to KEY_KBDILLUMUP to increment
the brightness, then pass KEY_KBDILLUMTOGGLE to user space after
the brightness max been reached for switching the led off.
