platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Update tablet mode switch at end of probe
[ Upstream commit 434e5781d8cd2d0ed512d920c6cdeba4b33a2e81 ]
ACER Vivobook Flip (TP401NAS) virtual intel switch is implemented as
follow:
Device (VGBI)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("INT33D6") ...
Name (VBDS, Zero)
Method (_STA, 0, Serialized) // _STA: Status ...
Method (VBDL, 0, Serialized)
{
PB1E |= 0x20
VBDS |= 0x40
}
Method (VGBS, 0, Serialized)
{
Return (VBDS) /* \_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.EC0_.VGBI.VBDS */
}
...
}
By default VBDS is set to 0. At boot it is set to clamshell (bit 6 set)
only after method VBDL is executed.
Since VBDL is now evaluated in the probe routine later, after the device
is registered, the retrieved value of VBDS was still 0 ("tablet mode")
when setting up the virtual switch.
Make sure to evaluate VGBS after VBDL, to ensure the
convertible boots in clamshell mode, the expected default.
