ASUS g752VS Bugs

[Darren Hart]

Hi Corentin,

We have a few bugs open for the Asus G752VS about hotkeys, keyboard backlight,
and touchpad issues. The one that caught my attention listed first below. I
thought this might have been an easy DMI entry to the asus-nb-wmi driver, but
it's starting to look like it might be issues with hid-asus.c, with ongoing work
here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-4.12/asus&id=0485b1ec280cb9b2b6ed6e44e999294b4c698182

Relevant bugs:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195027
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191651
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112531

I'd like your take on this, first of all.

Second of all, it would be helpful to have some instrumentation and, though I
hate to say it, user configurable parameters to force quirks for those scenarios
when all we need to do is add a DMI entry - like we have with wapf=4, but for
other common quirks (if there are any anymore - maybe it's moving to drivers
like hid-asus and we don't need to worry about it anymore).
