Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Backlight sysfs knobs created by asus-wmi don't really work, hence
systemd-backlight services are in failed state.
[Fix]
Ensure the backlight device are really present
[Test]
With the fix applied, the backlight sysfs knobs are not longer present
under /sys/class/backlight, so there's no more failed systemd-backlight
service.
[Where problems could occur]
Though highly unlikely, but if there's working device that is created
even when the WMI read is 0xffffffff, the device will be missing.
