Impact:
  Dell AIO has a side button to toggle display on & off, but it requires 
  dell-wmi to handle a new event from BIOS and to generate KEY_DISPLAYTOGGLE

Fix:
  This patch adds a new keycode KEY_DISPLAYTOGGLE to handle the BIOS event.

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

Tested:
  The patches are tested on Dell Inspiron 24-3460

Regression Potential:
  Very low - the patch adds a new keycode only.
