commit 6dc485f9940df8105ea729cbeb7a7d18d409dde5 upstream.
Unlike keys where userspace only reacts to keypresses, userspace may act
on switches in both (0 and 1) of their positions.
For example if a SW_TABLET_MODE switch is registered then GNOME will not
automatically show the onscreen keyboard when a text field gets focus on
touchscreen devices when SW_TABLET_MODE reports 0 and when SW_TABLET_MODE
reports 1 libinput will block (filter out) builtin keyboard and touchpad
events.
So to avoid unwanted side-effects EV_SW type inputs should only be
registered if they are actually present, only register SW_CAMERA_LENS_COVER
if it is actually there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
