[PATCH v2 1/2] Input: Add lid switch notifier

Jonathan Denose
2025-11-11T21:34:15Z

This change creates a new input handler which can be included in the
build via a new Kconfig option CONFIG_INPUT_LID_NOTIFIER. This input
handler listens for lid switch events and publishes them through an
atomic notification chain. Other modules may register for events
through this notification chain with register_lid_notifier.
