The Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 5, T16 Gen 3, and P14s Gen 5 laptops feature a new
hotkey on F11 showing a smartphone and a laptop chained together.  According to
the user manual [1], it launches the Microsoft Phone Link software used to
connect to Android/iOS devices and relay messages/calls or sync data.

This new keycode can be interpreted by desktop environments to lauch free Phone
Link alternatives like KDE Connect or GSConnect.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
