This is a two part series which does the following:
- Clean-up init sequence
- Unify backlight handling to happen under asus-wmi so that all Aura
devices have synced brightness controls and the backlight button works
properly when it is on a USB laptop keyboard instead of one w/ WMI.
For more context, see cover letter of V1. Since V5, I removed some patches
to make this easier to merge.

Changes since V7:
- Readd legacy init quirk for Dennis
- Remove HID_QUIRK_INPUT_PER_APP as a courtesy to asusctl
- Fix warning due to enum_backlight receiving negative values
Changes since V6:
- Split initialization refactor into three patches, update commit text
to be clearer in what it does
- Replace spinlock accesses with guard and scoped guard in all patches
- Add missing includes mentioned by Ilpo
- Reflow, tweak comment in prevent binding to all HID devices on ROG
- Replace asus_ref.asus with local reference in all patches
- Add missing kernel doc comments
- Other minor nits from Ilpo
- User reported warning due to scheduling work while holding a spinlock.
Restructure patch for multiple handlers to limit when spinlock is held to
variable access only. In parallel, setup a workqueue to handle registration
of led device and setting brightness. This is required as registering the
led device triggers kbd_led_get which needs to hold the spinlock to
protect the led_wk value. The workqueue is also required for the hid
event passthrough to avoid scheduling work while holding the spinlock.
Apply the workqueue to wmi brightness buttons as well, as that was
omitted before this series and WMI access was performed.
- On "HID: asus: prevent binding to all HID devices on ROG", rename
quirk HANDLE_GENERIC to SKIP_REPORT_FIXUP and only skip report fixup.
This allows other quirks to apply (applies quirk that fixes keyboard
being named as a pointer device).
Changes since V5:
- It's been a long time
- Remove addition of RGB as that had some comments I need to work on
- Remove folio patch (already merged)
- Remove legacy fix patch 11 from V4. There is a small chance that
without this patch, some old NKEY keyboards might not respond to
RGB commands according to Luke, but the kernel driver does not do
RGB currently. The 0x5d init is done by Armoury crate software in
Windows. If an issue is found, we can re-add it or just remove patches
1/2 before merging. However, init could use the cleanup.
Changes since V4:
- Fix KConfig (reported by kernel robot)
- Fix Ilpo's nits, if I missed anything lmk
Changes since V3:
- Add initializer for 0x5d for old NKEY keyboards until it is verified
that it is not needed for their media keys to function.
- Cover init in asus-wmi with spinlock as per Hans
- If asus-wmi registers WMI handler with brightness, init the brightness
in USB Asus keyboards, per Hans.
- Change hid handler name to asus-UNIQ:rgb:peripheral to match led class
- Fix oops when unregistering asus-wmi by moving unregister outside of
the spin lock (but after the asus reference is set to null)
Changes since V2:
- Check lazy init succeds in asus-wmi before setting register variable
- make explicit check in asus_hid_register_listener for listener existing
to avoid re-init
- rename asus_brt to asus_hid in most places and harmonize everything
- switch to a spinlock instead of a mutex to avoid kernel ooops
- fixup hid device quirks to avoid multiple RGB devices while still exposing
all input vendor devices. This includes moving rgb init to probe
instead of the input_configured callbacks.
- Remove fan key (during retest it appears to be 0xae that is already
supported by hid-asus)
- Never unregister asus::kbd_backlight while asus-wmi is active, as that
- removes fds from userspace and breaks backlight functionality. All
- current mainline drivers do not support backlight hotplugging, so most
userspace software (e.g., KDE, UPower) is built with that assumption.
For the Ally, since it disconnects its controller during sleep, this
caused the backlight slider to not work in KDE.
Changes since V1:
- Add basic RGB support on hid-asus, (Z13/Ally) tested in KDE/Z13
- Fix ifdef else having an invalid signature (reported by kernel robot)
- Restore input arguments to init and keyboard function so they can
be re-used for RGB controls.
- Remove Z13 delay (it did not work to fix the touchpad) and replace it
with a HID_GROUP_GENERIC quirk to allow hid-multitouch to load. Squash
keyboard rename into it.
- Unregister brightness listener before removing work queue to avoid
a race condition causing corruption
- Remove spurious mutex unlock in asus_brt_event
- Place mutex lock in kbd_led_set after LED_UNREGISTERING check to avoid
relocking the mutex and causing a deadlock when unregistering leds
- Add extra check during unregistering to avoid calling unregister when
no led device is registered.
- Temporarily HID_QUIRK_INPUT_PER_APP from the ROG endpoint as it causes
the driver to create 4 RGB handlers per device. I also suspect some
extra events sneak through (KDE had the @@@@@@).

Currently, RGB initialization forks depending on whether a device is
NKEY. Then, NKEY devices are initialized using 0x5a, 0x5d, 0x5e
endpoints, and non-NKEY devices with 0x5a and then a
backlight check, which is omitted for NKEY devices.
Remove the fork, using a common initialization sequence for both,
where they are both only initialized with 0x5a, then checked for
backlight support. This patch should not affect existing functionality.
0x5d and 0x5e endpoint initializations are performed by Windows
userspace programs associated with different usages that reside under
the vendor HID. Specifically, 0x5d is used by Armoury Crate, which
controls RGB and 0x5e by an animation program for certain Asus laptops.
Neither is used currently in the driver.

Currently, asus_kbd_get_functions prods the device using feature
report report_id, but then is hardcoded to check the response through
FEATURE_KBD_REPORT_ID. This only works if report_id is that value
(currently true). So, use report_id in the response as well to
maintain functionality if that value changes in the future.

Handshaking with an Asus device involves sending it a feature report
with the string "ASUS Tech.Inc." and then reading it back to verify the
handshake was successful, under the feature ID the interaction will
take place.
Currently, the driver only does the first part. Add the readback to
verify the handshake was successful. As this could cause breakages,
allow the verification to fail with a dmesg error until we verify
all devices work with it (they seem to).
Since the response is more than 16 bytes, increase the buffer size
to 64 as well to avoid overflow errors.

Currently, when hid-asus is not loaded, NKEY keyboards load as ~6
event devices with a pretty ASUSTEK name. When it loads, it concatenates
all applications per HID endpoint, renames them, and prints errors
when some of them do not have an input device.
Therefore, change probe so that this is no longer the case. Stop
renaming the devices, omit the check for .input which causes errors
on e.g., the Z13 for some hiddev only devices, and move RGB checks
into probe.

These keyboards have always had initialization in the kernel for 0x5d.
At this point, it is hard to verify again and we risk regressions by
removing this. Therefore, initialize with 0x5d as well.

Some devices, such as the Z13 have multiple Aura devices connected
to them by USB. In addition, they might have a WMI interface for
RGB. In Windows, Armoury Crate exposes a unified brightness slider
for all of them, with 3 brightness levels.
Therefore, to be synergistic in Linux, and support existing tooling
such as UPower, allow adding listeners to the RGB device of the WMI
interface. If WMI does not exist, lazy initialize the interface.
Since both hid-asus and asus-wmi can both interact with the led
objects including from an atomic context, protect the brightness
access with a spinlock and update the values from a workqueue.
Use this workqueue to process WMI keyboard events as well, so they
are processed asynchronously.

Some ROG laptops expose multiple interfaces for controlling the
keyboard/RGB brightness. This creates a name conflict under
asus::kbd_brightness, where the second device ends up being
named asus::kbd_brightness_1 and they are both broken.
Therefore, register a listener to the asus-wmi brightness device
instead of creating a new one.

The quirk for selecting whether keyboard backlight should be controlled
by HID or WMI is not needed anymore, so remove it.

The keyboard brightness control of Asus WMI keyboards is handled in
kernel, which leads to the shortcut going from brightness 0, to 1,
to 2, and 3.
However, for HID keyboards it is exposed as a key and handled by the
user's desktop environment. For the toggle button, this means that
brightness control becomes on/off. In addition, in the absence of a
DE, the keyboard brightness does not work.
Therefore, expose an event handler for the keyboard brightness control
which can then be used by hid-asus. Since this handler is called from
an interrupt context, defer the actual work to a workqueue.
In the process, introduce ASUS_EV_MAX_BRIGHTNESS to hold the constant
for maximum brightness since it is shared between hid-asus/asus-wmi.

If the asus-wmi brightness handler is available, send the
keyboard brightness events to it instead of passing them
to userspace. If it is not, fall back to sending them to it.
