[PATCH v4 0/4] platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: synchronize VPC commands

From: Gergo Koteles

Hi,

Sometimes the Yoga mode control switch did not work properly on my
laptop, and sometimes even caused a platform profile switch. It turned
out that it was caused by a race situation, the lenovo-ymc wmi notify
handler was running at the same time as the ideapad-laptop acpi notify
handler, and the partial results of the VPC calls in the two were mixed
up.

This series introduces a notification chain to receive YMC or other
events, moves the EC triggering into ideapad-laptop, and then introduces
a mutex to eliminate the problem.

Best regards,
Gergo Koteles
