No.  Do you know where to get that documentation?

Hmm, interesting.  I have DELLABC6, not DELLABCE.  I'll play around
with it a bit.  Are there Dell docs for this?

Regardless, we'll need something like this, but maybe with KE_IGNORE,
just to silence the warnings.

I'll do that in v2.

Time to time Dell release some documentation or example code. You could 
ask Dell people on LKML (e.g. Mario Limonciello is active) or on smbios 
mailing list libsmbios-devel@lists.us.dell.com.

But currently there there are open questions about WMI hotkeys on Dell 
Vostro V131 which we cannot fix yet :-(

Decompiling ACPI table is documentation :-) Probably DELLABC6 will have 
similar (or maybe same) ACPI interface. Post relevant ACPI ASL code, 
maybe I could help with it.

Anyway first version of DELLABCE driver was written by Alex Hung (from 
Canonical), so it is possible that also non-Dell could help with 
documentation/behaviour as well.

Yes, with KE_IGNORE we will have documented behaviour in code.
