Please backport e8c597368b85 (platform/x86: hp-wmi: Ignore backlight and FnLock events) to 7.0.y and LTS

Hi all,

I would like to request a backport of commit e8c597368b85 [1] to Linux 7.0.y, and LTS versions.

On new HP OmniBook 7 (Panther Lake) hardware, the keyboard backlight and FnLock keys are handled by firmware but still trigger WMI events. This results in "Unknown key code" warnings spamming dmesg [2].

The mainline commit e8c597368b85 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: Ignore backlight and FnLock events") silences these warnings by adding the key codes to the keymap with KE_IGNORE.

The patch was merged in v7.1-rc1 but missed the stable tag during initial submission.

Thanks
