Subject: [PATCH] Input: introduce 'notimeout' blacklist for Dell Vostro V13

i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious
timeouts.

Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts
and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match.

In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.
