Some 2-in-1s have a broken VGBS method, so we cannot get an initial state for the switches from them. Reporting the wrong initial state for SW_TABLET_MODE causes serious problems (touchpad and/or keyboard events being ignored by userspace when reporting SW_TABLET_MODE=1), so on these devices we cannot register an input-dev for the switches at probe time. We can however register an input-dev for the switches as soon as we receive the first switches event, because then we will know the state. Note this mirrors the behavior of recent changs to the intel-hid driver which also registers a separate switches input-dev on receiving the first event on machines with a broken VGBS method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
