Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] HID: asus: Add WMI communication infrastructure

From: Ionut Nechita <ionut_n2001@...oo.com>

Add infrastructure for the HID driver to communicate with the asus-wmi
driver for handling special keys that require WMI communication.

This includes:
- Define ASUS_WMI_METHODID_NOTIF method ID in asus-wmi.h
- Implement asus_wmi_send_event() function to send events to asus-wmi
