thinkpad-acpi can now be made to export EV_SW SW_LID events to the input

However, most (all?) thinkpads will also generate ACPI notifications to
\_SB.LID, on LID changes, i.e. this would duplicate an ACPI LID event, and I
undertand ACPI is already moving to provide those over an input device by
itself.

Given that situation, is it desireable for thinkpad-acpi to export EV_SW
SW_LID events by itself (possibly duplicating an event that the ACPI layer
will also issue)?  Or should I just ignore the lid events, and leave them
for the ACPI layer to deal with?

I would just rely on ACPI button driver to deliver EV_SW/SW_LID events.
After all there is only one lid switch on the box so having 2 input
devices rep[orting it is counter-intuitive.
