HID: asus: fortify keyboard handshake

Browse source

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. In addition, add the report
ID to prints, to help identify failed handshakes.
