Subject: [PATCH v2 13/17] leds: leds-nuc: better detect NUC6/NUC7 devices

There's no documented way to detect if the WMI API is valid,
as, when it is not valid, it just returns 4 zeros.

However, as having a value of 0x00 for the blinking state
is not valid, we can check for it at detection time, in
order to disable LEDs control on devices that won't
support it.
