Hello, This is Hyungjae Im from Samsung Electronics.
Let me answer your questions inline.

I read "how to send your first kernel patch", but still making so many mistakes.
I will be cautious with this.

 I think I should clarify this part the most for this review.
 As you know, new added events both has similar existing events,
 but it has to operate separately.

 First, SW_COVER_ATTACHED is similar with SW_MACHINE_COVER.
 We need two events for our cover interaction.
 One is to detect if flip cover is open/closed(covers screen or not),
 and one is for detecting if cover is attached(detect if device is put into cover).
 With the second event, we send event for attachment and start authentication
 distinguishing if it was Samsung made cover.

 Second, SW_EXT_PEN_ATTACHED detects if pen is attached externally on tablet models.
 It is different with SW_PEN_INSERTED since this is detecting pens like our NOTE series.
 SW_EXT_PEN_ATTACHED has an unique role to set wacom tuning table differently
 while pen is attached/detached.

V2 has additional submit for drivers using SW events.
I will separate these two drivers and submit it separately.

 Will change feature name to INPUT_COVER_DETECT.

 Thanks for comment. I will erase it.

 I will add additional explanation for module name
