> SRU Justification:
> 
> [ Impact ]
> 
> The brightness of some ASUS ROG laptop keyboards cannot be adjusted
> without this patch.
> 
> [ Test Plan ]
> 
> I verified that this patch applies cleanly to the Oracular kernel
> at Ubuntu-6.11.0-9.9 and resolves the bug on my laptop
> (Asus ROG GA503RM). I observed no regressions. This can be verified
> on any similar model of laptop by testing keyboard brightness controls
> once patched.
> 
> [ Fix ]
> 
> On almost all ASUS ROG series laptops the MCU used for the USB keyboard
> also has a HID packet used for setting the brightness. This is usually
> the same as the WMI method. But in some laptops the WMI method either
> is missing or doesn't work, so we should default to the HID control.
> 
> 
> [ Where problems could occur ]
> 
> I do not expect any regressions since this only touches parts of
> asus-wmi and hid-asus that are covered by my test case, which worked
> as intended.
> 
> [ Changes since v1 of this patch set ]
> 
> Corrected patch format issues

Please copy the SRU justification to the bug and target it to oracular.

Other than that, LGTM.
