I can confirm I have encountered this issue with BIOS v. 1.6.1 from 21
Jul 2019

Device - Dell XPS 15 9575 Intel Core i7-8705G
BIOS - version 1.6.1
OS - Fedora 30
Kernel - kernel-5.1.19-300

Additional info:
- I have an encrypted root partition. During boot, I am able to usethe keyboard 
for <1 second at the screen where I enter the password for the root partition. 
Then the keyboard is disabled.
- I tested this with a previously installed kernel 5.0.9-301 and I was able to 
use the keyboard to enter the password for the root partition, but once I 
arrive at the login screen for fedora the keyboard/touchpad is unusable (cannot 
even switch TTYs)
- Using the grub boot menu option "fedora rescue" which is installed by default 
with fedora, I am able to use the keyboard to login without issue.

I'm happy to share any additional information that is requested. I don't
see any specific errors in dmesg that stand out here, but I've provided
a dmesg from a boot when the keyboard would not function [0]. I will
also upload a dmesg from a functional boot[1].

[0] boot_k509_keyable_unusable_dmesg.log
[1] boot_rescue_keyboard_usable_dmesg.log
