Subject: [PATCH 4.11 053/115] Revert "ACPI / button: Remove lid_init_state=method mode"
4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@...el.com>
commit f369fdf4f661322b73f3307e9f3cd55fb3a20123 upstream.
This reverts commit ecb10b694b72ca5ea51b3c90a71ff2a11963425a.
The only expected ACPI control method lid device's usage model is
1. Listen to the lid notification,
2. Evaluate _LID after being notified by BIOS,
3. Suspend the system (if users configure to do so) after seeing "close".
It's not ensured that BIOS will notify OS after boot/resume, and
it's not ensured that BIOS will always generate "open" event upon
opening the lid.
But there are 2 wrong usage models:
1. When the lid device is responsible for suspend/resume the system,
userspace requires to see "open" event to be paired with "close" after
the system is resumed, or it will suspend the system again.
2. When an external monitor connects to the laptop attached docks,
userspace requires to see "close" event after the system is resumed so
that it can determine whether the internal display should remain dark
and the external display should be lit on.
After we made default kernel behavior to be suitable for usage model 1,
users of usage model 2 start to report regressions for such behavior
change.
Reversion of button.lid_init_state=method doesn't actually reverts to old
default behavior as doing so can enter a regression loop, but facilitates
users to work the reported regressions around with
button.lid_init_state=method.

+A. button.lid_init_state=method:
+ When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the

+B. button.lid_init_state=open:
When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver always reports the
initial lid state as "opened" and whether the "opened"/"closed" events
are paired fully relies on the firmware implementation.
This may fix some platforms where the returning value of the _LID
control method is not reliable and the initial lid state notification is
missing.

When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver never reports the
initial lid state and there is a compensation mechanism implemented to
ensure that the reliable "closed" notifications can always be delievered
