Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] platform/x86: wmi: Prevent incompatible event driver from probing

If a WMI event driver has no_notify_data set, then it indicates
support for WMI events which provide no notify data, otherwise
the notify() callback expects a valid ACPI object as notify data.

However if a WMI event driver which requires notify data is bound
to a WMI event device which cannot retrieve such data due to the
_WED ACPI method being absent, then the driver will be dysfunctional
since all WMI events will be dropped due to the missing notify data.

Fix this by not allowing such WMI event drivers to bind to WMI event
devices which do not support retrieving of notify data. Also reword
the description of no_notify_data a bit.
