platform/x86: huawei-wmi: Silence ambient light sensor
[ Upstream commit c21733754cd6ecbca346f2adf9b17d4cfa50504f ]
Currently huawei-wmi causes a lot of spam in dmesg on my
Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022:
...
[36409.328463] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
[36411.335104] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
[36412.338674] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
[36414.848564] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
[36416.858706] input input9: Unknown key pressed, code: 0x02c1
...
Fix that by ignoring events generated by ambient light sensor.
