[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-5.15] platform/x86: intel-hid: Add Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 to dmi_vgbs_allow_list

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Peter Metz <peter.metz@unarin.com>

[ Upstream commit 6b3fa0615cd8432148581de62a52f83847af3d70 ]

The Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 (model DB04250) requires the VGBS allow list
entry to correctly enable the tablet mode switch. Without this, the
chassis state is not reported, and the hinge rotation only emits
unknown scancodes.

Verified on Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 DB04250.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Analysis

### What the commit does

This commit adds a single DMI entry for the "Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1
DB04250" to the `dmi_vgbs_allow_list` in
`drivers/platform/x86/intel/hid.c`. This allow list controls which
devices can use the VGBS (Virtual GPIO Button Status) ACPI method to
report chassis/tablet mode state.

### Problem it solves

Without this entry, the Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 cannot correctly report
tablet mode switch state. The hinge rotation only emits unknown
scancodes, meaning the device doesn't properly switch between laptop and
tablet modes. This is a real usability issue for owners of this specific
2-in-1 device.

### Classification: Hardware Quirk / Device Allow List Entry

This falls squarely into the **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS"** exception
category for stable backports:
- It adds a device-specific DMI match to an existing allow list
- It fixes a real hardware issue (tablet mode not working)
- The pattern is identical to existing entries in the same list
  (multiple Dell, HP entries already present)

### Code change analysis

The diff is trivial — 6 lines added to insert a new `dmi_system_id`
struct into the `dmi_vgbs_allow_list` array, matching `DMI_SYS_VENDOR =
"Dell Inc."` and `DMI_PRODUCT_NAME = "Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 DB04250"`. The
change follows the exact same pattern as the surrounding entries.

### Risk assessment

- **Risk: Extremely low.** The DMI match is specific to one device
  model. It cannot affect any other hardware.
- **Scope: Minimal.** 6 lines of declarative data, no logic changes.
- **Testing: Verified.** The commit message states "Verified on Dell 14
  Plus 2-in-1 DB04250."
- **Review: Thorough.** Reviewed by both Hans de Goede (platform/x86
  maintainer) and Ilpo Järvinen (Intel platform maintainer).

### Stable criteria check

1. **Obviously correct and tested**: Yes — verified on the hardware,
   reviewed by two maintainers
2. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes — tablet mode doesn't work without it
   (bugzilla #221090)
3. **Important issue**: Yes — core functionality of a 2-in-1 device is
   broken
4. **Small and contained**: Yes — 6 lines, single file, data-only change
5. **No new features**: Correct — enables existing functionality on
   specific hardware
6. **Applies cleanly**: Should apply cleanly as long as the surrounding
   entries exist

### Verification

- Verified the diff is a pure data addition to an existing DMI allow
  list array — no logic changes
- Confirmed the pattern matches existing entries in the same list (Dell
  Pro Rugged 10/12 Tablet entries directly above)
- The commit references bugzilla.kernel.org bug #221090, confirming a
  user-reported issue
- Reviewed-by tags from Hans de Goede and Ilpo Järvinen confirm
  maintainer approval
- The `dmi_vgbs_allow_list` structure is used in the existing
  `intel_hid_probe()` path — this is well-established code

### Conclusion

This is a textbook stable backport candidate: a tiny, zero-risk hardware
quirk addition that fixes real functionality for a specific device
model, with user bug report, hardware verification, and maintainer
review.

**YES**
