That's sounds reasonable. A bit of explanation does wonders if I (or
anyone else reading through the history *or* code) ever encounter
similar bug reports.

Is anyone else concerned by the acpi_lid_notifier never being decoupled
when the module is unloaded? And the randomness of int_lvds_connector?

I love our code, every time you read it you find another bug.
