Subject: [PATCH 0/5] platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Fixes + rework to make it work on more devices

Hi All,

Here is a series of fixes, mostly aimed at fixing commit: de9647efeaa9
("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Only activate tablet mode switch on 2-in-1's")
causing the driver to not bind on some devices where it could and
should report SW_TABLET_MODE.

The last commit makes the driver also work on some devices where it
previously would not work because they lack a VBDL method.

Mario, can you test this on a Dell XPS 9360 (for which you wrote the
de9647efeaa9 commit) to ensure that this series does not cause a
regression there?  Also I have a question for you about using the DMI
chassis-type for this / a proposal for dealing with this differently
below the '---' of the commit msg of the 4th patch.

Regards,

Hans
