platform/x86: dell-rbtn: Improve explanation about DELLABC6

According to Mario at Dell, the DELLABC6 device should not be used on a
Linux system. It also conflicts with Intel-HID and its interactions with
Network Manager. Document that we are aware of the device, but that we
are intentionally ignoring it.

* On the XPS 13 9350 and similar laptops, we're not supposed to
* use DELLABC6 at all. Instead, we handle the rfkill button
* via the intel-hid driver.
* According to Mario at Dell:
*
* DELLABC6 is a custom interface that was created solely to
* have airplane mode support for Windows 7. For Windows 10
* the proper interface is to use that which is handled by
* intel-hid. A OEM airplane mode driver is not used.
*
* Since the kernel doesn't identify as Windows 7 it would be
* incorrect to do attempt to use that interface.
*
* Even if we override _OSI and bind to DELLABC6, we end up with
* inconsistent behavior in which userspace can get out of sync
* with the rfkill state as it conflicts with events from
* intel-hid.
*
* The upshot is that it is better to just ignore DELLABC6
* devices.
