This event code represents the state of a removable cover of a device. Value 0 means that the cover is open or removed, value 1 means that the cover is closed. Reviewed-by: Sebastian Reichel <redacted> Acked-by: Tony Lindgren [off-list ref] Signed-off-by: Merlijn Wajer [off-list ref] ---Dmitry, can we get some kind of comment here, or better yet can we get you to apply this?This is part of a patch series to resolve problems with the Nokia N900 not booting when the cover is removed (making the cover be the card detect was also just weird IMHO). Just removing the card-detect from the DTS is fine, but it was suggested that we expose the data instead as input event. And that's gotten no response for about four months. Should we just drop the feature and only remove the cd-gpios line from the DTS, assuming upstream doesn't want this SW_MACHINE_COVER code?I believe series is good, lets keep it. Changing now will only delay it a bit more. Let me try to get Dmitry's attention... If that does not work, we can get Linus' attention :-). If that does not work, umm, there are some other options.Sorry, am really swamped the last couple months. I can pick up the input code, do you want me to pick up DTS as well?No problem, sorry for being pushy. If you could pick up just the input one-liner, that would be best. It is not risky. OMAP people will take care of the DTS, I believe, and we can iterate if it does not work at the first try.
I already acked the dts change a while back, please just queue them together. Or if you want me to pick it up, please set up an immutable branch for me against v5.8-rc1 to also merge in :) Regards, Tony
