platform/x86: Add LG Gram laptop special features driver
A driver for LG Gram laptop supporting features not available through the
standard interfaces:
- Support for the 5 Fn keys that generate ACPI or WMI events.
- Two software controlled LEDs: keyboard backlight (also controlled by
hardware) and touchpad LED.
- Extra features: reader mode, Fn lock, cooling mode, USB charge mode, and
maximal battery charging level.
