You quite intentionally can not separate inhibit/uninhibit from open and
close. As with open/close nothing stops inhibit/uninhibit to be called
rapidly multiple times in a row. You probably rely on particular
operation of ChromeOS devices during normal user interaction.

As far as I remember, you need to perform recalibration on certain
devices when LID gets open. I recommend you implement something similar
to https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/3578852
where we monitor LID events and recalibrate when needed, instead of
trying to make assumptions on when inhibit and uninhibit functions are
called.

Thanks.
