I looked at a few other ASL copies I have and you have an old version.
Have you done a BIOS update recently?

Yours:  OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d0040b,
Others: OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d20b07,
Others: OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d3050f,

Update your BIOS and then do acpidump -t to verify your revision is the
latest.
