Not yet. I proposed this interface because we want something like this for
Onboard. For detailed discussion, please see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1366421/comments/43

hp-wmi and thinkpad-acpi do provide a similar interface, but for tablet.

If accepted, Onboard will be a consumer.

Yes. SW_TABLET_MODE would be ideal. But looking at the drive's code, I don't
know if it has an EC command for it.
