Following up on that, the 'chassis-type' property has been added the the
device-tree specification, and support for it has just been merged in
systemd:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20731
Now I'm preparing a bunch of kernel patches for adding this property to
phones and tablets already present upstream, see the latest commit of
this branch:
https://gitlab.com/a-wai/linux/-/tree/chassis-type
I'll break it down per SoC vendor before submitting, but in the meantime
any feedback is welcome.
Cheers,
Arnaud
