Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop models with accelerator.

     Mark the accel sensor location to base to disable it.

   * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0C00 or 0C02 or 0C40 or 0C41 or 0C42

   * Rotate the laptop and the display should not be rotated, and has
  not orientation locker in UI

   * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not
  affect any other part of systemd.
