I would like to sincerely apologize for the mistake in understanding the 
documentation. I received feedback pointing out my error, corrected it 
accordingly, but unfortunately, there was still an oversight. After being 
notified of the second error, I have now thoroughly reviewed everything again 
and made all necessary corrections.

I truly appreciate your patience and guidance throughout this process. Your 
feedback has been extremely helpful in helping me reach the correct 
understanding. I am committed to ensuring that all future submissions are 
fully compliant with the documentation requirements.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

From: Edip Hazuri <edip@medip.dev>

Add support for the HP keyboard RGB backlight found on HP OMEN and
HP Victus laptops. These keyboards expose per-zone RGB control through
WMI commands.

Register multicolor LED class devices for each keyboard zone (up to 4
zones, depending on the keyboard type). Each zone exposes individual
red, green, and blue channels via the multicolor LED subsystem.

Also hardware-initiated brightness changes (e.g. via the keyboard
backlight hotkey, mostly fn+f4) are reported.

The color data is stored in a 128-byte color table managed by the
firmware, with RGB values starting at offset 25, packed sequentially
per zone.

Signed-off-by: Konenko Andrey Viktorovich <admin@aquinas.su>

Changes since v7:
 - The LED class device names changed to be consistent with the documentation.

Changes since v6:
 - The LED class device names have been made more consistent with the 
documentation, in accordance with patch https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/
20260504145434.12746-1-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com/
underscores have been replaced with dashes where indicated.

Changes since v5:
 - LED class device names changed from a number to using a descriptive name 
for each zone.

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260303084022.7223-3-edip@medip.dev/

Changes since v4:
 - Fix circular dependencies

Changes since v3:
 - Merge the changes into a single commit

Changes since v1:
 - Fix mentioned style errors
 - Add Kconfig dependencies
