I do not if Dell use all types, but months ago Matthew wrote to 
include also other numbers not only 9 (Laptop) and you agreed.

I do not know exact list of models which needs these quirks, but 
before that commit (61579ba83934) it was used for all Latitude 
models. At least I see that switches do not generate release 
events and on older Latitude machines some Fn keys do not 
generate them too.
