The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605MY periodically emits an
unrecognized WMI event (0xe5), approximately every 12 seconds.

The event is reported as KEY_UNKNOWN through the Asus WMI hotkeys
input device. When the session is locked, it causes both the
internal display and an external monitor connected through a
Thunderbolt dock to wake up repeatedly.

Add a DMI-specific quirk to suppress this event on the GU605MY
without affecting other ASUS notebook models.

Ignoring the event was first verified on a 7.2.7-based OGC kernel.
The DMI-specific quirk was subsequently built against 7.2.8-ogc5
and tested on 7.2.9-ogc2 and 7.2.9-ogc4. On both 7.2.9 variants,
the DMI match was confirmed and the unknown 0xe5 event messages
disappeared.
