Subject: [PATCH v12 02/11] HID: asus: initialize additional endpoints only for
 certain devices

Currently, ID1/ID2 initializations are performed for all NKEY devices.
However, ID1 initializations are only required for RGB control and are
only supported for RGB capable devices. ID2 initializations are only
required for initializing the Anime display endpoint which is only
supported on devices with an Anime display. Both of these
initializations are for functionality that is not present on this driver
and are performed for devices which might not support them.

At the same time, there are older NKEY devices that have only been
tested with these initializations in the kernel and it is not possible
to recheck them. There is a possibility that especially with the ID1
initialization, certain laptop models might have their shortcuts stop
working (currently unproven).

To avoid sending unnecessary commands, change to only initialize ID1/ID2
for those NKEY devices suspected to be problematic without them by
introducing a quirk for them and replacing the NKEY quirk in the block
that performs the inits with that. Therefore, new devices that do not
need (and some do not support) these initializations will not have
them performed.

In addition, as these initializations might not be supported by the
affected devices, change the function to not bail if they fail.
