[PATCH v3 2/3] platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: add fnlock_use_hid quirk and asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid()

From: Marcus Grenängen

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 05:34:48 EST


The ASUS ProArt P16 (N-Key keyboard 0B05:19B6) advertises the WMI fn-lock
DEVID (0x00100023) as present via DSTS, but the DEVS call has no effect.
Fn-lock must instead be toggled via a HID feature report sent to the N-Key
keyboard (handled by hid-asus).

Add a fnlock_use_hid flag to struct quirk_entry and set it for the ProArt
P16 via a DMI match on DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY.

Export asus_wmi_fnlock_use_hid() so that asus-armoury can query whether
the HID path is required without reading the quirk struct directly. This
keeps the DMI and quirk knowledge inside asus-wmi.
