Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Implement notifier chain for lid switch events

To circumvent a hardware issue where the touchpad is not physically
connected to the lid angle sensor, implement a notifier chain which
broadcasts lid switch events and a notifier_block which can be enabled
via a quirk to listen for those events turning the touchpad surface
on or off based on if the lid is open or closed. This will prevent
issues resulting from interference between the laptop lid and the
touchpad.
