Answering to this one for the entire series:
last week was a mix of public holidays and PTO from me. I was only
able to review this series today, so sorry for the delay.

I still have a feeling this driver is far too engineered for a simple
input node. There are internal states, defers, mangle of events and too
many kernel parameters.

I still need to get my head around it, but the more I think of it, the
more I think the solution provided by Lennart in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2807 is the simplest one:
when we are not sure about the state of the LID switch because _LID
might be wrong, we shouldn't export a LID input node.
Which means that all broken cases would be fixed by just a quirk
"unreliable lid switch".

Give me a day or two to get this in a better shape.

Cheers,
Benjamin
