Hans de Goede 4186c79c13 platform/x86: asus-wmi: Change ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN code from 0x20 to 0x2e 
commit f37cc2fc27 upstream.

Older Asus laptops change the backlight level themselves and then send
WMI events with different codes for different backlight levels.

The asus-wmi.c code maps the entire range of codes reported on
brightness down keypresses to an internal ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN code:

define NOTIFY_BRNUP_MIN                0x11
define NOTIFY_BRNUP_MAX                0x1f
define NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MIN              0x20
define NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MAX              0x2e

        if (code >= NOTIFY_BRNUP_MIN && code <= NOTIFY_BRNUP_MAX)
                code = ASUS_WMI_BRN_UP;
        else if (code >= NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MIN && code <= NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MAX)
                code = ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN;

Before this commit all the NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MIN - NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MAX
aka 0x20 - 0x2e events were mapped to 0x20.

This mapping is causing issues on new laptop models which actually
send 0x2b events for printscreen presses and 0x2c events for
capslock presses, which get translated into spurious brightness-down
presses.

The plan is disable the 0x11-0x2e special mapping on laptops
where asus-wmi does not register a backlight-device to avoid
the spurious brightness-down keypresses. New laptops always send
0x2e for brightness-down presses, change the special internal
ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN value from 0x20 to 0x2e to match this in
preparation for fixing the spurious brightness-down presses.

This change does not have any functional impact since all
of 0x20 - 0x2e is mapped to ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN first and only
then checked against the keymap code and the new 0x2e
value is still in the 0x20 - 0x2e range.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
