If the user bit is set, that mean BIOS can't set and record the wlan
status, it will report the value read from id ASUS_WMI_DEVID_WLAN_LED
(0x00010012) while we query the wlan status by id ASUS_WMI_DEVID_WLAN
(0x00010011) through WMI.
So, we have to record wlan status in id ASUS_WMI_DEVID_WLAN_LED
(0x00010012) while setting the wlan status through WMI.
This is also the behavior that windows app will do.

When you call WMIMethod(DSTS, 0x00010011) to get WLAN status, it may return
(1) 0x00050001 (On)
(2) 0x00050000 (Off)
(3) 0x00030001 (On)
(4) 0x00030000 (Off)
(5) 0x00000002 (Unknown)
(1), (2) means that the model has hardware GPIO for WLAN, you can call
WMIMethod(DEVS, 0x00010011, 1 or 0) to turn WLAN on/off.
(3), (4) means that the model doesn’t have hardware GPIO, you need to use
API or driver library to turn WLAN on/off, and call
WMIMethod(DEVS, 0x00010012, 1 or 0) to set WLAN LED status.
After you set WLAN LED status, you can see the WLAN status is changed with
WMIMethod(DSTS, 0x00010011). Because the status is recorded lastly
(ex: Windows), you can use it for synchronization.
(5) means that the model doesn’t have WLAN device.
WLAN is the ONLY special case with upper rule.
For other device, like Bluetooth, you just need use
WMIMethod(DSTS, 0x00010013) to get, and WMIMethod(DEVS, 0x00010013, 1 or 0)
to set.

Some h/w that can adjust screen brightness through ACPI functions, but
can't turn on/off the backlight power correctly. So, we list those h/w in
quirks and try to turn on/off the backlight power through WMI.

Some models work better with different values of wapf, so move the
variable into quriks_entry to make it more easy to give a specific
value to different models.

Due to some implementation reasons, ASUS ET2012 All-in-One machines
can't report the correct backlight power status, it will always return
1. To track the backlight power status correctly, we have to store the
status by ourselves.
BTW, by the BIOS design, the backlight power will be turn on/off
sequently, no matter what the value of the parameter will be.
More over, the brightness adjustment command will turn on the backlight
power. Those behaviors will make us fail to track the backlight power
status.
For example, While we are trying to turn on the backlight power,
we will send out the brightness adjustment command and then trying to
figure out if we have to turn on the backlight power, then send out
the command. But, the real case is that, the backlight power turns on
while sending the brightness adjustment command, and then we send out
the command to turn on the backlight power, it actually will turn off
the backlight power and the backlight power status we recorded becomes
wrong. So, we have to seperate these two commands by a if statement.

Some ASUS ET2012E/I All-in-One machines that use a scalar board
to control the brightness, and they only accept brightness up and down
command. So, I introduced a get_scalar_command() function to pass the
command to the scalar board through WMI.
Besides, we have to store the brightness value locally, for we need the
old value to know the brightness value is increasing or decreasing.
BTW, since there is no way to retrieve the actual brightness(it would be
a fixed value), and the max brightness value would be fixed to 1, so we
have to keep passing the brightness up/down command when we reached the
max brightness value or 0.

This is required for the T101MT home key, which behaves differently

New Asus notebooks are using a WMI device similar to
the one used in Eee PCs. Since we don't want to load
eeepc-wmi module on Asus notebooks, and we want to
keep the eeepc-wmi module for backward compatibility,
this patch introduce a new module, named asus-wmi, that
will be used by eeepc-wmi and the new Asus Notebook WMI
Driver.
eeepc-wmi's input device strings (device name and phys)
are kept, but rfkill and led names are changed (s/eeepc/asus/).
This should not break anything since rfkill are used by type or
index, not by name, and the eeepc::touchpad led wasn't working
correctly before 2.6.39 anyway.
