On the ASUS laptop UX325JA/UX425JA, most of the media keys are not
working due to the ASUS WMI driver fails to be loaded. The ACPI error
as follows leads to the failure of asus_wmi_evaluate_method.
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [IIA3] at bit offset/length 96/32 exceeds size of target Buffer (96 bits) (20200326/dsopcode-203)

The DSDT for the WMNB part shows that 5 DWORD required for local

The limitation is determined by the input acpi_buffer size passed
to the wmi_evaluate_method. Since the struct bios_args is the data
structure used as input buffer by default for all ASUS WMI calls,
the size needs to be expanded to fix the problem.
