HID: asus: only support backlight when it's not driven by WMI
The Asus GL502VSK has the same 0B05:1837 keyboard as we've seen in several Republic of Gamers laptops. However, in this model, the keybard backlight control exposed by hid-asus has no effect on the keyboard backlight. Instead, the keyboard backlight is correctly driven by asus-wmi. With two keyboard backlight devices available (and only the acer-wmi one working), GNOME is picking the wrong one to drive in the UI. Avoid this problem by not creating the backlight interface when we detect a WMI-driven keyboard backlight. We have also tested Asus GL702VMK which does have the hid-asus backlight present, and it still works fine with this patch (WMI method call returns UNSUPPORTED_METHOD). A direct "depends on ASUS_WMI" is intentionally avoided so that HID_ASUS users who have ASUS_WMI=n will not quietly lose their HID_ASUS driver on a kernel upgrade.
