Subject: ACPI: Always report a sync event after a lid state change
To: stable@kernel.org
Cc: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0810280131390.24123@localhost.localdomain>

upstream commit df316e939100e789b3c5d4d102619ccf5834bd00

Currently not always an EV_SYN event is reported to userland
after the EV_SW SW_LID event has been sent. This is easy to verify
by using “input-events” from input-utils and just closing and opening
the lid.
