Given Dmitry's input itl ooks like we need to go back to using iio
for this. Probably with something like my initial proposal wherre we
add an in_proximity_location sysfs attribute to the iio-devices which
represent the lap-mode and palmrest sensors. But ChromeOS is doing
something different to figure out which sensor is which, so this needs
a bit more discussion.

I'll go and reply to Dmitry's latest mail on this now and then we will
see from there.

Ouch, sorry about this.
