Ok, you should have just received a patch fixing this, sorry
that creating it took a bit longer then I had hoped.

Andy, can you drop the:

"platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Fix SW_TABLET_MODE always reporting 1 on the HP Pavilion 11 x360"

Patch from your review-andy branch, plug in the new one and
then send it out to Linus for merging into 5.9 please ?

Regards,

Hans
