Power button does not work on Latitude 7480

[Alex Hung]

When power button is pressed, a menu should pop up or the system should enter suspend; however, neither occurs.

SRU Justification:

Impact: Without the fix certain keys (like the power button) will not work on laptops using 5 button arrays with the intel-hid driver.

Fix: Changes backported from upstream which (based on capability bit) will selectively enable 5 button support for the intel-hid driver. Regression potential should be low due to the fencing with capability and requiring support for a special call to enable the feature.

Testcase: Power button working on the Latitude 7480 (also has been regression tested on a platform without 5 button support).
