[PATCH 7/7] platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Add lightbar support for LAPQC71A/B

From: Armin Wolf

Date: Sat May 30 2026 - 13:09:38 EST


The LAPQC71A and LAPQC71B both feature a RGB lightbar with 36
brightness levels per color component. Extend the device descriptor
to supply the maximum brightness of the lightbar and whitelist
both models for UNIWILL_FEATURE_LIGHTBAR.
