platform/x86: dell: Add new dell-wmi-ddv driver



The dell-wmi-ddv driver adds support for reading
the current temperature and ePPID of ACPI batteries
on supported Dell machines.

Since the WMI interface used by this driver does not
do any input validation and thus cannot be used for probing,
the driver depends on the ACPI battery extension machanism
to discover batteries.

The driver also supports a debugfs interface for retrieving
buffers containing fan and thermal sensor information.
Since the meaing of the content of those buffers is currently
unknown, the interface is meant for reverse-engineering and
will likely be replaced with an hwmon interface once the
meaning has been understood.

The driver was tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.
