ACPI / button: Remove initial lid state notification The _LID control method's initial returning value is not reliable. The _LID control method is described to return the "current" lid state. However the word of "current" has ambiguity, many BIOSen return the lid state upon the last lid notification instead of returning the lid state upon the last _LID evaluation. There won't be difference when the _LID control method is evaluated during the runtime, the problem is its initial returning value. When the BIOSen implement this control method with cached value, the initial returning value is likely not reliable. There are simply so many examples retuning "close" as initial lid state (Link 1), sending this state to the userspace causes suspending right after booting/resuming. Since the lid state is implemented by the BIOSen, the kernel lid driver has no idea how it can be correct, this patch stops sending the initial lid state to the userspace to try to avoid sending the wrong lid state to the userspace to trigger such kind of wrong suspending. This actually reverts the following commit introduced for fixing a Novell bug: Commit: 23de5d9ef2a4bbc4f733f58311bcb7cf6239c813 Subject: ACPI: button: send initial lid state after add and resume Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89211 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106151 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106941 Link: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326814 Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
