Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! As far as I can tell from the output it seems not listed as a device. Do you have an option in the BIOS to enable it? This at the Dell community forums seem to indicate it's a common hardware issue and others are reporting it's a suspend-and-resume bug. – gertvdijk Feb 1 at 0:37
