Hi Mauro,

the HID subsystem went through a refactoring, and all the quirks have been 
separated into individual drivers, so that the code doens't become 
unmaintainable mess by having quirks all over the place.

The changes have been present in my git tree -next for quite some time, 
and I am planning to send a push request to Linus probably tomorrow. Do 
you think you could rebase your patch on top of my tree?

For Dell changes this should be trivial, as there is already a driver 
handling exactly this for other Dell keyboards.

Thanks,
