Wouldn't it be better to add this field to struct asus_wmi_driver
instead, and set it in asus_nb_wmi_driver only? This way we wouldn't
need to make sure it is present in all quirk entries from this driver,
current and future.

I've tested both the original patch and my suggestion above and in
both cases the "turn off backlight" hotkey continued to work fine on a
machine where asus-nb-wmi is used (I don't have access to any machine
using the eeepc driver).
