add support for Dell privacy driver for the Dell units equipped hardware privacy design, which protect users privacy of audio and camera from hardware level. Once the audio or camera privacy mode activated, any applications will not get any audio or video stream when user pressed ctrl+F4 hotkey, audio privacy mode will be enabled, micmute led will be also changed accordingly The micmute led is fully controlled by hardware & EC(embedded controller) and camera mute hotkey is Ctrl+F9. Currently design only emits SW_CAMERA_LENS_COVER event while the camera lens shutter will be changed by EC & HW(hardware) control *The flow is like this: 1) User presses key. HW does stuff with this key (timeout timer is started) 2) WMI event is emitted from BIOS to kernel 3) WMI event is received by dell-privacy 4) KEY_MICMUTE emitted from dell-privacy 5) Userland picks up key and modifies kcontrol for SW mute 6) Codec kernel driver catches and calls ledtrig_audio_set 7) dell-privacy notifies EC, the timeout is cancelled and the HW mute is activated. If the EC is not notified then the HW mic mute will activate when the timeout triggers, just a bit later than with the active ack.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
