[Yu] I agree, but the major problem here is that, there is no SCI triggered when opening the LID,
and since this problem exist on Windows too(can not wake system up by open lid),
it looks like either a BIOS problem(does not get the right lid status
by EC eccess) or a hardware issue, I'm not sure if Linux is aware of the open event from lid.
And even if Linux does not send the lid status after resume(althought wrong status: close) to input layer/netlink,
the daemon systemd would also suspend the system after 20 seconds(and there is no SCI during 20s), so
it seems systemd(or other) daemon is using a timeout framework, so the quickest way to fix this problem
is to send the 'correct' lid status to daemon after resume, I know this is ugly..

[Yu] Yes, I used to provide a boot parameter as you suggested before, but users
gave feedback they'd like to fix this problem transparently..

[Yu] This might be a hardware issue that cause the loss of GPE, there is no SCi triggered
when open the lid.
