  --------------

  CID: 201406-15271 Dell Latitude E5550

  The microphone mute key does not work at all.

  Key event cannot be captured by "xev" or "sudo showkey -s"
  But keycode 248 would be returned when testing with sudo showkey -k

  Alsa info:
  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=006099fcf08709c82a74dba986a907a602a868ab

  Also note that with file at /etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-dell-mic-mute-hotkey.hwdb generated with the following content:
  # Dell platform kernel driver
  keyboard:name:Dell WMI hotkeys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pn*
   KEYBOARD_KEY_150=f20 # Mic mute toggle

  And with udev database updated: sudo udevadm hwdb -u

  The microphone mute key works, but the mic mute led does not work.
  (Also the icon is not correct, which show a speaker instead of a mic)
