Splendid world, indeed. I'm wondering, however, why the incorrect state
is reported? Is it similar to the linked issue on the Manjaro forum, where a
different bit is seemingly used to report the tablet mode state, or something else?
I'm also wondering why it was chosen that a *set* bit means that the tablet
mode is *off*. All these problems could've been easily avoided... (given that
I'm not missing anything obvious).

I'm afraid that the only answer which I have to these questions
is not helpful, but in my experience it is true: "firmware sucks".

Regards,

Hans
