Older Asus laptops change the backlight level themselves and then send
WMI events with different codes for different backlight levels.
The asus-wmi.c code maps the entire range of codes reported on
brightness down keypresses to an internal ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN code:
define NOTIFY_BRNUP_MIN 0x11
define NOTIFY_BRNUP_MAX 0x1f
define NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MIN 0x20
define NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MAX 0x2e
if (code >= NOTIFY_BRNUP_MIN && code <= NOTIFY_BRNUP_MAX)
code = ASUS_WMI_BRN_UP;
else if (code >= NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MIN && code <= NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_MAX)
code = ASUS_WMI_BRN_DOWN;
This mapping is causing issues on new laptop models which actually
send 0x2b events for printscreen presses and 0x2c events for
capslock presses, which get translated into spurious brightness-down
presses.
This mapping is really only necessary when asus-wmi has registered
a backlight-device for backlight control. In this case the mapping
was used to decide to filter out the keypresss since in this case
the firmware has already modified the brightness itself and instead
of reporting a keypress asus-wmi will just report the new brightness
value to userspace.
OTOH when the firmware does not adjust the brightness itself then
it seems to always report 0x2e for brightness-down presses and
0x2f for brightness up presses independent of the actual brightness
level. So in this case the mapping of the code is not necessary
and this translation actually leads to spurious brightness-down
presses being send to userspace when pressing printscreen or capslock.
Modify asus_wmi_handle_event_code() to only do the mapping
when using asus-wmi backlight control to fix the spurious
brightness-down presses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
