a new bug report with info that you already have."

Spamming everyone with comments about a forum post is not helping here.
As well, nobody has the information previously requested from you, as
you didn't file a new report.

>"*IF* it is a BIOS/firmware/EC bug there is no point in opening yet
another bug report for an issue that can't be resolved in Linux!"

Then you don't understand how linux kernel development works. On select
occasions, linux kernel engineers (not Dell employees) have implemented
patches that WORKAROUND buggy, and outdated BIOS and hardware firmware.

However, by not filing a report, you are robbing developers to track the
true impact this has, all the hardware permutations that may be
affected, and the opportunity to review your hardware specifically
(marking yourself affected, or making "Me too!" comments is useless here
as it's not verifiable by anyone). As well, you are just adding comment
noise that isn't contributing towards having the issue addressed. By not
doing as previously requested, you are only delaying your own problem
from being addressed.
