Some of latest ASUS laptops support new fn-lock mode switching.
This commit detect whether if the fn-lock option is enabled in
BIOS setting, and toggle the fn-lock mode via a new WMI DEVID
0x00100023 when the corresponding notify code captured.
The ASUS fn-lock mode switch is activated by pressing Fn+Esc.
When on, keys F1 to F12 behave as applicable, with meanings
defined by the application being used at the time. When off,
F1 to F12 directly triggers hardware features, well known audio
volume up/down, brightness up/down...etc, which were triggered
by holding down Fn key and F-keys.
Because there's no way to retrieve the fn-lock mode via existing
WMI methods per ASUS spec, driver need to initialize and keep the
fn-lock mode by itself.

Export asus_wmi_evaluate_method() and related headers for use by other
drivers.
hid-asus is going to use this to avoid advertising that it has a keyboard
backlight when the keyboard backlight is controlled via WMI.
