Asus keyboard backlight does not work
Describe the bug
When booting the backlight is on until after the Bazzite logo appears. At this point trying to set the led-mode with asusctl results in the following:
abonasera@fedora:~$ asusctl led-mode rainbow

Extra information or context
Backlight and led settings were working fine as recently as the 2024-04-07 update. I had updated to 2024-04-18 where the backlight stopped working it so I reverted to 2024-04-07. After shutting down going to sleep and rebooting however the backlight worked on 2024-04-18 on first boot. After updating to 2024-04-19 the backlight stopped working again and reverting to 2024-04-18 did not result in the backlight working.
Oh also here is the result of journalctl -b -u asusd > ~/asusd.log
which the asusctl repo says to post when reporting an issue
asusd.log
And here is a link to the issue I made on their GitLab https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl/-/issues/479 (Luke seems to think it's a problem with the Bazzite kernel builds)
