HID: asus: listen to the asus-wmi brightness device instead of creating one

Browse source

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.
