[Bug 2044431] Re: Fix screen orientation on certain Dell models

[Leo Lin]

As the hardware containing those BIOS IDs cannot boot stock Ubuntu after
installation, the hwdb packages are tested on an OEM jammy with the
following steps:

1. Enable proposed channel of jammy on the machine
2. install the systemd-hwe-hwdb in that proposed channel using:

        $ sudo apt install systemd-hwe-hwdb=<version>

2. Comfirm that the version number is the proposed one:

        $ apt policy systemd-hwe-hwdb

3. Update the hwdb and re-run things:

        $ sudo systemd-hwdb update
        $ udevadm trigger
        $ systemctl restart iio-sensor-proxy

4. Rotate the machine, and confirm that the screen doesn't rotate with the machine.
5. Enable the proposed channel for lunar and mantic respectively and start from step 1.
