Well, have you seen the recent series
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=149431335204701&w=2 and the
following) from Lv?

He evidently agrees with you that "ACPI / button: Remove
lid_init_state=method mode" should be reverted, but then there are
differences.

Can you please have a look at that and let me know what's wrong with
it in your view?  I'd like to have a full picture if poss.

Thanks,
Rafael
