platform/x86: Add custom surface3 platform device for controlling LID
The LID state provided by ACPI on the Surface 3 is not accurate. The ACPI node doesn't get notified on LID open, which means the LID input switch stays close most of the time. Fortunatelly, there is a WMI method which directly queries the GPIO underneath the LID state, so it's far more reliable than ACPI. To get the notifications that the LID was opened/closed, we can rely on the ACPI notification of the touchscreen: the DSDT shows that the touchscreen will get notified on close/open as it also controls its _STA method. Note that we need to set the tag "power-switch" to the LID input node through a udev rule for logind to accept it: SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", KERNELS=="surface3-wmi", \ TAG+="power-switch" Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
