That sounds reasonable. It just means that we are not able to resolve
the multi mode state right away after a cold boot. That does leave the
question whether we should be doing anything else so that the state is
resolved correctly.

A quick test could be to do a cold boot with the laptop folded into
tablet mode. I believe dmesg will be identical, but you should see
(e.g. using evemu-describe on "ThinkPad Extra Buttons") that
SW_TABLET_MODE has toggled to 1 rather than still having a state of 0
for laptop mode.
