Time to time Dell release some documentation or example code. You could
ask Dell people on LKML (e.g. Mario Limonciello is active) or on smbios
mailing list libsmbios-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But currently there there are open questions about WMI hotkeys on Dell
Vostro V131 which we cannot fix yet :-(

Decompiling ACPI table is documentation :-) Probably DELLABC6 will have
similar (or maybe same) ACPI interface. Post relevant ACPI ASL code,
maybe I could help with it.

Anyway first version of DELLABCE driver was written by Alex Hung (from
Canonical), so it is possible that also non-Dell could help with
documentation/behaviour as well.

Yes, with KE_IGNORE we will have documented behaviour in code.
