Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 17/25] platform/x86: huawei-wmi: Silence ambient light sensor

From: Konstantin Shelekhin <k.shelekhin@...l.net>

[ Upstream commit c21733754cd6ecbca346f2adf9b17d4cfa50504f ]

Currently huawei-wmi causes a lot of spam in dmesg on my
Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022:

  ...
  [36409.328463] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
  [36411.335104] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
  [36412.338674] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
  [36414.848564] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
  [36416.858706] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
  ...

Fix that by ignoring events generated by ambient light sensor.

This issue was reported on GitHub and resolved with the following merge
request:

  https://github.com/aymanbagabas/Huawei-WMI/pull/70

I've contacted the mainter of this repo and he gave me the "go ahead" to
send this patch to the maling list.
