While the discussed pattern of splitting assignments is a good
practice, for some cases we don't do it when we rely on the guarantee
by the callers that some of the stuff won't be problematic. Here the
device is part of the platform device and can't be NULL, there is no
point to split definition and assignment (and you may find plenty
examples in the kernel), so

  struct device *dev = &asus->platform_device->dev;

is better to have as it's guaranteed not to be NULL and since that we
don't check it in the code anyway.

Irrelevant change.

It also seems you switched to dev_err() here for the pr_err() that
aren't related to the change, either split that to a separate patch,
or don't do it right now. I.o.w. use dev_err() only in the lines your
change touches, otherwise it's irrelevant.
