No, I don't think so. My testing shows that it is now just reported by
the keyboard controller. My commit is similar to
'f1566f0dc07ec9b5409b348070f5a700032d7881' in which keys for the Dell
XPS L502X are added to the legacy keymap to reduce the noise. Without
this patch dell-wmi reports an unknown key, but with it those messages
are silenced.
