Hi All,
Some 360 degree hinges (yoga) style 2-in-1 devices use 2 bmc150 accels to allow the OS to determine the angle between the display and the base of the device, so that the OS can determine if the 2-in-1 is in laptop or in tablet-mode.
We already support this setup on devices using a single ACPI node with a HID of "BOSC0200" to describe both accelerometers. This patch set extends this support to also support the same setup but then using a HID of "DUAL250E".
While testing this I found some crashes on rmmod, patches 1-2 fix those patches, patch 3 does some refactoring and patch 4 adds support for the "DUAL250E" HID.
Unfortunately we need some more special handling though, which the rest of the patches are for.
On Windows both accelerometers are read (polled) by a special service and this service calls a DSM (Device Specific Method), which in turn translates the angles to one of laptop/tablet/tent/stand mode and then notifies the EC about the new mode and the EC then enables or disables the builtin keyboard and touchpad based in the mode.
When the 2-in-1 is powered-on or resumed folded in tablet mode the EC senses this independent of the DSM by using a HALL effect sensor which senses that the keyboard has been folded away behind the display.
At power-on or resume the EC disables the keyboard based on this and the only way to get the keyboard to work after this is to call the DSM to re-enable it (similar to how we also need to call a special DSM in the kxcjk-1013.c accel driver to re-enable the keyboard).
Patches 5-7 deal with the DSM mess and patch 8 adds labels to the 2 accelerometers specifying which one is which.
Regards,
Hans
