I was not going to nitpick this, but since a new respin will be needed
for the first patch anyway, can you add the BIOS and EC model numbers of
the X1 Yoga (2016) in a comment somewhere in your changes (e.g. in a
comment next to the new tablet mode code you added) ?

These model numbers are the product componet codes used in the
thinkpad-apci-style hardware black/white lists.  You should easily find
them in the dmidecode output, thinkpad-acpi logging, or in the BIOS and
EC firmware update web pages for that specific thinkpad.

Also, please send me off-list a copy of the binary ACPI tables (DSDT and
all XSDTs), and dmidecode output (with serial numbers and UUIDs
XXXX-out) for the X1 Yoga.

Finally, while this is not a requirement at this time, if you could
update the driver documentation with the newer events and any visible
changes to the tablet mode stuff, I'd be grateful.

It is in Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt

I apologise for not asking for these earlier.

Thanks,
