Subject: RE: [PATCH v5 1/3] ACPI / button: Add missing event to keep SW_LID
 running without additional event loss

Hi, Dmitry

I'm considering what the future should be.

What if we drop PATCH 02, stop introducing KEY_LID_XXX events.
And switch ACPI button driver to lid_init_state=ignore.
So that whatever the initial state is close or open, no events will be sent to the userspace.
In the meanwhile, userspace tunes its behavior.
With PATCH 01, 2nd close can arrive to userspace, so that can be tuned to:
1. User space stops asking kernel to send open notification.
2. And only acts against "close" notification.

Thanks and best regards
-Lv
