Description:

Starting with kernel 5.17.5-arch1-1 and 5.17 before, multimedia keys stop working. After dig into log, I found that asus-nb-wmi module is failed to probe. I try to manually load it with modprobe and insmod but always end up with `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_nb_wmi': No such device`. The previous kernel 5.16 and 5.15 LTS work fine until 5.17 came up, So I assume that there's something wrong with it. I had exact similliar issue on fedora 36 with kernel 5.17 and it got fixed, link : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2079125

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- linux 5.17.5-arch1-1

* config and/or log files etc.
- Attached.

* link to upstream bug report, if any
- I don't have one.

Steps to reproduce:

- Boot up the 5.17.5-arch1-1 kernel.
- Login to DE and wayland compositors
- Open pavucontrol.
- Press multimedia keys / fn+F10/F11/F12 to toggle mute, set volume down/up, nothing happens
- Reboot to 5.15 LTS kernel.
- Login to DE and wayland compositors.
- Open pavucontrol.
- Press multimedia keys / fn+F10/F11/F12 to toggle mute, set volume down/up, it works.

This task depends upon
