Dell Pro Rugged 10/12 tablets has a reliable VGBS method.
If VGBS is not called on boot, the on-screen keyboard won't appear if the
device is booted without a keyboard.

Call VGBS on boot on thess devices to get the initial state of
SW_TABLET_MODE in a reliable way.

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.
