BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440949

SRU Justification:

Impact:
  Dell introduced a new ACPI device to handle wireless hotkey. The mechanism 
  depreciates the original WMI method and a new driver is required.

Fix:
  The new driver handles new events and fix the problem that wireless hoteky 
  does not work on new Dell systems

  The patches are included in upstream and are cherry-picked from Linus's repo.

Tested:
  This patch is tested on Dell Inspiron 3543 an 3135

Pali Rohár (3):
  dell-rbtn: Dell Airplane Mode Switch driver
  dell-rbtn: Export notifier for other kernel modules
  dell-laptop: Use dell-rbtn instead i8042 filter when possible
