            Bug ID: 221090
           Summary: intel-hid: Tablet mode switch not working on Dell 14
                    Plus 2-in-1 DB04250
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 6.18.7
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P3
         Component: Platform_x86
          Assignee: drivers_platform_x86@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: peter.metz@unarin.com
        Regression: No

Description:


On the Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 (DB04250), the tablet mode switch is not reported to
userspace. The device identifies itself as a "Notebook" (Chassis Type 10),
which causes intel-hid to skip the dmi_vgbs_allow_list check and ignore the
VGBS method.

Evidence:


- DMI Product Name: Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 DB04250
- DMI Chassis Type: 10 (Notebook)

Verified Fix: Manually adding this model to dmi_vgbs_allow_list in
drivers/platform/x86/intel/hid.c enables full functionality (tablet mode starts
working).

```
$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 DB04250 
```

```
$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
Dell Inc.
```

```
$ sudo acpidump | grep "VGBS"
