Here's some context I've gathered. I haven't drawn any conclusions from this,
but perhaps you will find it useful:

I see in the journal that systemd is working with two rfkill devices (8 and 9),
and that dell-wmi is emitting unknown key events (e00e). This key is of course
not in the dell_wmi_legacy_keymap, but it would land right after 0xe00d, labeled
as a BIOS error.
