Public bug reported:
RFKill key produces these messages in kernel log:
dell_wmi: Unknown key with type 0x0010 and code 0xe008 pressed
This key code is a notification and should be added as KEY_IGNORE here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/dell-
wmi.c#L263
According to
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/dell-wmi.c
this key isn't supported by kernel.
To add support record { KE_IGNORE, 0xe008, { KEY_RFKILL } } must be added to
array dell_wmi_keymap_type_0010. Right now it exists only in
dell_wmi_keymap_type_.
Rfkill key produces 2 events: keyboard and one, that should be handled
by dell-wmi.
Hwdb record is for keyboard event. Release emulation is required, at
least for my model. Otherwise evtest shows only 1 EV_KEY event.

Enough guessing. Gnome bug is a different one. And it has no connection
to this bug.
In my case rfkill didn't work because keycode 88 was set to UNKNOWN by
this generic dell rule:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c5896b6a8cfcfd1b94f25450a96a1411384f1108/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb#L267
My rule
I found one more missing key definition: FN-Lock key - Lock icon with
'Fn' on it, it toggles Fn row behavior between F1-F12 and media keys.
I'm not sure with keycode it should have assigned, so I set it to IGNORE
in patch.
** Summary changed:
- dell_wmi: Unknown key with type 0x0010 and code
