I think we are getting closer to what would be acceptable for
user-space, but I still have a few comments:

Here you are basically exporting the 2 input events but only update
one of the 2. It will confuse userspace and it is generally better not
to export unused input codes.

However, as I'll say below, I think we should keep the code that way here.

I don't think this is a good solution to have a kernel parameter. I
thought the final decision were to have userspace decide which event
was valid, and so we just need to export and emit both of events.

_If_ you export a kernel parameter, it makes sense to have a dmi
blacklist to have a good default experience, which is what you wanted
to avoid.
So if you just export and use both events at the same time, you will have:
- correct ACPI machines will just have an extra KEY_LID_CLOSE event
emitted, which will not harm logind
- wrong ACPI machines will not have their SW_LID input event updated
because it will be kept closed. But given that logind will ignore it,
there is no harm either

As Dmitry said, we could also have a KEY_LID_OPEN emitted for
symmetrical purposes, but I am not entirely sure if this will confuse
userspace or not. On the other hand, there are few users of these
states, and we can teach them how to properly use them.

So in the end, I think you should just get rid of the kernel
parameter, export SW_LID, KEY_LID_CLOSE, KEY_LID_OPEN in the event
node, and only add the KEY_LID_CLOSE|OPEN events on an actual acpi
notification.

Then a small hwdb entry set will teach logind/powerd if they need to
ignore the SW_LID event or not.

Cheers,
Benjamin
