[Bug 609234] [NEW] Multimedia and battery keys do not work on Dell Studio 1557

[Mark Smith]

Public bug reported:

dmesg shows:
dell-wmi: Unknown key 0 pressed 

This is a pretty easy fix:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1242512
I tested it on 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 on gentoo and it worked perfectly.  This should fix the issue on the studio 1555/1557/1558.

Should the Studio 155x models fall into the dell_new_hk_type category
instead?
