I actually rebased it in this series. I kept your SoB line given that
the idea came from you and the resulting patch was rather similar (only
one hunk differs, but the meaning is the same).

I don't think it does, and it should not. If an event is emitted, it has
to be forwarded. However, the logic of the protocol makes that the only
state that matters is when an EV_SYN is emitted. So if a SW_LID 0 then 1
is sent between the 2 EV_SYN, and the state was 1 before, from a
protocol point of view it's a no-op.

Again, we don't care about events. We care about states, and those are
only emitted when the lid is marked as non reliable.

Having the i915 driver listening to the input events is actually a good
solution. Let me think about it a little bit more and I'll come back.
