commit 8169bd3e6e193497cab781acddcff8fde5d0c416 upstream.
2 recent commits: cfae58ed681c ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Only blacklist SW_TABLET_MODE on the 9 / "Laptop" chasis-type") 1fac39fd0316 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Also handle tablet-mode switch on "Detachable" and "Portable" chassis-types")
Enabled reporting of SW_TABLET_MODE on more devices since the vbtn ACPI interface is used by the firmware on some of those devices to report this.
Testing has shown that unconditionally enabling SW_TABLET_MODE reporting on all devices with a chassis type of 8 ("Portable") or 10 ("Notebook") which support the VGBS method is a very bad idea.
Many of these devices are normal laptops (non 2-in-1) models with a VGBS which always returns 0, which we translate to SW_TABLET_MODE=1. This in turn causes userspace (libinput) to suppress events from the builtin keyboard and touchpad, making the laptop essentially unusable.
Since the problem of wrongly reporting SW_TABLET_MODE=1 in combination with libinput, leads to a non-usable system. Where as OTOH many people will not even notice when SW_TABLET_MODE is not being reported, this commit changes intel_vbtn_has_switches() to use a DMI based allow-list.
The new DMI based allow-list matches on the 31 ("Convertible") and 32 ("Detachable") chassis-types, as these clearly are 2-in-1s and so far if they support the intel-vbtn ACPI interface they all have properly working SW_TABLET_MODE reporting.
Besides these 2 generic matches, it also contains model specific matches for 2-in-1 models which use a different chassis-type and which are known to have properly working SW_TABLET_MODE reporting.
This has been tested on the following 2-in-1 devices:
Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 vPro HP Pavilion X2 10-p002nd HP Stream x360 Convertible PC 11 Medion E1239T
