[PATCH 2/2] platform/x86: intel-hid: Add Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 to dmi_vgbs_allow_list

From: Peter Metz

Date: Fri Feb 13 2026 - 18:03:43 EST


The Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 (model DB06250) requires the VGBS allow list
entry to correctly enable the tablet mode switch. Without this, the
chassis state is not reported, and the hinge rotation only emits
unknown scancodes.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the review! I'd be happy to help out with more fixes.
Here is the follow-up patch for the Dell 16 Plus (DB06250)
to address that report.

Cheers,
Peter
