Hi Kast,

Seeing a build warning on my merge:

C drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.o
drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c: In function âpwm1_enable_storeâ:
drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c:1279:2: warning: ignoring return value of âkstrtouintâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
kstrtouint(buf, 10, &state);
^
drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c: In function âpwm1_storeâ:
drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c:1237:2: warning: ignoring return value of âkstrtouintâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
kstrtouint(buf, 10, &value);

Please be sure to watch for newly introduced warnings in the build before
submitting patches.

Also, missed two nits below which I'm bringing up mostly because you will need
to respin to fix the warning above anyway.

Declare in order of decreasing line length please:

Multiline comment blocks should have an empty /* line to start:

/*
