XPS13 9333, BIOS A07.

I think I saw the event only after resuming from suspend and
it's sent four times in a row.

As Pali says, it seems to be related to the battery. There are
three _Qxx ACPI methods in my DSDT sending this event: one stops
battery charging, one detaches the battery and the last one stores
a value on the GNVS.
