From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2021 17:35:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Stop reporting SW_DOCK events
Stop reporting SW_DOCK events because this breaks suspend-on-lid-close.
SW_DOCK should only be reported for docking stations, but all the DSDTs in my DSDT collection which use the intel-vbtn code, always seem to use this for 2-in-1s / convertibles and set SW_DOCK=1 when in laptop-mode (in tandem with setting SW_TABLET_MODE=0).
This causes userspace to think the laptop is docked to a port-replicator and to disable suspend-on-lid-close, which is undesirable.
Map the dock events to KEY_IGNORE to avoid this broken SW_DOCK reporting.
Note this may theoretically cause us to stop reporting SW_DOCK on some device where the 0xCA and 0xCB intel-vbtn events are actually used for reporting docking to a classic docking-station / port-replicator but I'm not aware of any such devices.
Also the most important thing is that we only report SW_DOCK when it reliably reports being docked to a classic docking-station without any false positives, which clearly is not the case here. If there is a chance of reporting false positives then it is better to not report SW_DOCK at all.
