platform/x86: asus-wmi: Do not report brightness up/down keys when also reported by acpi_video
For a long time now the acpi_video driver reports evdev brightness up/down
key events for the brightness hotkeys on most (non ancient) laptops.
asus-wmi also reports evdev brightness up/down key events for these
keys leading to each press being reported twice and e.g. GNOME increasing
the brightness by 2 steps instead of 1 step.
Use the acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() helper to detect if
acpi_video is reporting brightness key-presses and if it is then don't
report the same events also from the asus-wmi driver.
Note there is a chance that this may lead to regressions where
the brightness hotkeys stop working because they are not actually
reported by the acpi_video driver. Unfortunately the only way to
find out if this is a problem is to try.
To at least avoid regressions on old hw using the eeepc-wmi driver,
implement this as a key filter in asus-nb-wmi so that the eeepc-wmi
driver is not affected.
