[RFC PATCH v4 5/5] ACPI: button: Cleanup lid notification logics

Show all headers | View raw

Both nouveau and i915, the only 2 kernel space lid notification listeners,
invoke acpi_lid_open() API to obtain _LID returning value instead of using
the notified value. So kernel graphics drivers are only interested in _LID
return value, hence this patch makes this logic explicit in button driver.

However the preference may because kernel graphics drivers do not want to
receive non-bios notifications. Thus this patch also adds a global variable
to allow button driver to stop notifying non-bios notifications.

This is a no-op cleanup as the default behaviors are kept unchanged, but
may:
1. improve button.lid_init_state=method by introducing a possibility to
   allow kernel graphics driver to reduce redundant _LID evaluations, and
2. improve button.lid_init_state=open/method by introducing a possibility
   to stop notifying faked non bios events.
