platform/x86: asus-wmi: add support for ASUS screenpad

Browse source 
Add support for the WMI methods used to turn off and adjust the
brightness of the secondary "screenpad" device found on some high-end
ASUS laptops like the GX650P series and others.

There are some small quirks with this device when considering only the
raw WMI methods:
1. The Off method can only switch the device off
2. Changing the brightness turns the device back on
3. To turn the device back on the brightness must be > 1
4. When the device is off the brightness can't be changed (so it is
   stored by the driver if device is off).
5. Booting with a value of 0 brightness (retained by bios) means the bios
   will set a value of >0 <15
6. When the device is off it is "unplugged"

asus_wmi sets the minimum brightness as 20 in general use, and 60 for
booting with values <= min.

The ACPI methods are used in a new backlight device named asus_screenpad.
