What would happen if you do *not* add this new entry? Please do this
test after your notebook was fully turned off to prevent some cached
configuration in BIOS.

This means that in dell-wmi.c is missing mapping for code 0xe0f0 in key
type 0x0000.
Find array dell_wmi_keymap_type_0000[] and add there line:
{ KE_KEY, 0xe0f0, { KEY_something } },
(where something is correct name of key)

So for both first and second key you got same type+code? That is bad :-(
In this case with above definition we cannot distinguish which was was
pressed. But at least something.

This key is not received by dell-wmi.c, but rather via PS/2 keyboard.
Use appropriate setkeycodes command line program to map that code 60 to
some key.
Today in most cases this mapping for PS/2 keyboards is done in udev or
systemd at system startup. They have database for it.

Just guessing... if I concatenate INF0, INF1, INF2, INF3 and treat every
INF* as 16bit number I got this sequence:
0x0004 0x0000 0xE0F0 0x0001
0x0004 0x0000 0xE0F0 0x0002
And it looks like a valid buffer for dell_wmi_notify() function.
Look at this part of that function:
switch (buffer_entry[1]) {
case 0x0000: /* One key pressed or event occurred */
if (len > 2)
dell_wmi_process_key(wdev, 0x0000,
buffer_entry[2]);
/* Other entries could contain additional information */
If I'm right that above INF* sequence is put into dell_wmi_notify()
function, then in buffer[3] you should be able to see either 0x01 or
0x02. And distinguish which key was pressed.
Can you test it? Beware of "len" of buffer_entry when you would do
tests.

So it means that third key is also received by dell-wmi? Anyway see
function dell_wmi_process_key() and line:
if (type == 0x0000 && code == 0xe025 && !wmi_requires_smbios_request)
return;
It is there just to ensure that key is not send via both PS/2 keyboard
and dell-wmi.
So I guess you should disable wmi_requires_smbios_request.
