Some HP x360 models have an ACPI VGBS method which sets bit 4 instead of
bit 6 when NOT in tablet mode at boot. Inspecting all the DSDTs in my DSDT
collection shows only one other model, the Medion E1239T ever setting bit 4
and it always sets this together with bit 6.
So lets treat bit 4 as a second bit which when set indicates the device not
being in tablet-mode, as we already do for bit 6.
While at it also prefix all VGBS constant defines with "VGBS_".
Note this wrokaround was first added to the kernel as
commit d823346876a9 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Fix SW_TABLET_MODE always
reporting 1 on the HP Pavilion 11 x360").
After commit 8169bd3e6e19 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Switch to an
allow-list for SW_TABLET_MODE reporting") got added to the kernel this
was reverted, because with the new allow-list approach the workaround
was no longer necessary for the model on which the issue was first
reported.
But it turns out that the workaround is still necessary because some
affected models report a chassis-type of 31 which is on the allow-list.
