Could you explain why a polling is needed. Is no irq line connected.

It's just an ACPI method interface, so no dedicated IRQ certainly.
The firmware does issue ACPI events on coarse orientation changes
(i.e. which edge is up) that we're catching with acpid, so there's no
reason this needs to poll all the time in typical usage.
