Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: lenovo-hotkey: Handle missing hardware features gracefully

Not all devices support audio mute and microphone mute LEDs, so the
explicitly checks for hardware support while probing. However missing
hardware features are treated as errors, causing the driver so fail
probing on devices that do not support both LEDs.

Fix this by simply ignoring hardware features that are not present.
This way the driver will properly load on devices not supporting both
LEDs and will stop throwing error messages on devices with no LEDS
at all.
