Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Ignore WMI events with codes 0x7B, 0xC0

On ASUS GU604V the key 0x7B is issued when the charger is connected or
disconnected, and key 0xC0 is issued when an external display is
connected or disconnected.

This commit maps them to KE_IGNORE to slience kernel messages about
unknown keys, such as:

    kernel: asus_wmi: Unknown key code 0x7b

I'm not sure what those keys events actually mean. I assume they are
some redundant notifications because no laptop functionality seems to
depend on them.

If there is anything I can check or investigate please let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
