I am not sure if multiplexing all proximity switches into one evdev

is that great option, as I am sure we'll soon have devices with 2x
palmrest switches and being capable finely adjusting transmit power,
etc.
Hans, Mark, so is there a consensus to how we should export the "lap-
mode"?
Given Dmitry's input itl ooks like we need to go back to using iio
for this. Probably with something like my initial proposal wherre we
add an in_proximity_location sysfs attribute to the iio-devices which
represent the lap-mode and palmrest sensors. But ChromeOS is doing
something different to figure out which sensor is which, so this needs
a bit more discussion.

I'll go and reply to Dmitry's latest mail on this now and then we will
see from there.
I had nearly finished working on updated code and all the test suite
changes needed to use an input device with switches when IIO started
being discussed, so I stopped in my tracks.
Ouch, sorry about this.

Regards,

Hans
