Subject: [PATCH 8/8] asus-wmi: Don't register rfkill if ASHS and user bit are present

Some Asus laptops that have an airplane-mode indicator LED, also have
the WMI WLAN user bit set, and the following bits in their DSDT:

    Scope (_SB)
    {
      (...)
      Device (ATKD)
      {
        (...)
        Method (WMNB, 3, Serialized)
        {
          (...)
          If (LEqual (IIA0, 0x00010002))
          {
            OWGD (IIA1)
            Return (One)
          }
        }
      }
    }

So when asus-wmi uses ASUS_WMI_DEVID_WLAN_LED (0x00010002) to store the
wlan state, it drives the airplane-mode indicator LED (through the call
to OWGD) in an inverted fashion: the LED is ON when airplane mode is OFF
(since wlan is ON), and vice-versa.

This skips registering RFKill switches at all for these laptops, to
allow the asus-wireless driver to drive the airplane mode LED correctly
through the ASHS ACPI device. Relying on the presence of ASHS and
ASUS_WMI_DSTS_USER_BIT avoids adding DMI-based quirks for at least 21
different laptops.
