Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Consider device is absent when the read is ~0

AAEON PICO-TGU4 board doesn't have any LED but there are bogus LED
controls under /sys/class/leds:
$ ls /sys/class/leds
asus::kbd_backlight asus::lightbar  platform::micmute

The reason is that the ~0 read from asus_wmi_get_devstate() is treated
as a valid state, in truth it means the device is absent.

So filter out ~0 read to prevent bogus LED controls being created.
