ofc:

I tested 3 more devices (InfinityBook 15 Gen9 Intel, Stellaris 16 Gen5 AMD and 
Intel) and found that these send additional WMI events that the devices Armin 
tested didn't.

These are: UNIWILL_OSD_MUTE, UNIWILL_OSD_WEBCAM_TOGGLE, and 
UNIWILL_OSD_DC_ADAPTER_CHANGED

I also went through our out-of-tree driver where additional WMI events are 
bound: UNIWILL_OSD_RADIOON, UNIWILL_OSD_RADIOOFF, and UNIWILL_OSD_KB_LED_LEVEL*

While I don't know which devices exactly use them, at least one device does, 
otherwise we wouldn't have them there. Also I don't see any harm in binding 
them, so I did.

Best Regards,

Werner
