There are platform variations implementing ACPI lid device in different
way:
1. Some platforms send "open" events to OS and the events arrive before
button driver is resumed;
2. Some platforms send "open" events to OS, but the events arrive after
button driver is resumed, ex., Samsung N210+;
3. Some platforms never send "open" events to OS, but send "open" events to
update the cached _LID return value, and the update events arrive before
button driver is resumed;
4. Some platforms never send "open" events to OS, but send "open" events to
update the cached _LID return value, but the update events arrive after
button driver is resumed, ex., Surface Pro 3;
5. Some platforms never send "open" events, _LID returns value sticks to
"close", ex., Surface Pro 1.
This series tries to provide solutions to fix all cases for old userspace
programs. These solutions include:
1. Fix order issue in case 2,4. Enabled by default.
2. Fix event missing issue in case 3,4. As newer systemd doesn't require
this fix, and this fix is not power friendly, it is not enabled by
default, but can be enabled by:
2.1. button.lid_periodic_update=1: periodically sends _LID value to
the input layer.
3. Fix persistate close issue in case 5, as newer systemd doesn't require
this fix, it is not enabled by default, but can be enabled in 2 means:
3.1. button.lid_init_state=ignore: only adds complement open events.
3.2. lid_unreliable=1: dymamically adds/removes input node.
