PATCH 1/1 platform/x86: asus-wmi: Add keyboard backlight toggle support

Some Asus laptops like UX550GE has hotkey (Fn+F7) for keyboard backlight toggle. In this UX550GE, the hotkey incremet the level of brightness for each keypress from 1 to 3, and then switch it off when the brightness has been the max. This commit interprets the code 0xc7 generated from hotkey to KEY_KBDILLUMUP to increment the brightness, then pass KEY_KBDILLUMTOGGLE to user space after the brightness max been reached for switching the led off.

Thanks for pointing out. The 'else' does want to do nothing special but Brightness Toggle as the original code. I'll modify that and submit again.
