Both patches in the series look fine to me.

Is IIO the interface you plan on using to implement the lap detection
for the thinkpad_acpi driver?

If so, don't forget to set the "nearlevel" property as well. I'll
probably have to write a new iio-sensor-proxy driver for those as well,
without the hardware. That'll be interesting ;)
