Yes, they are obtained from ACPI/the DSDT. Specifically from the name of
the GPE handler notifying the lid device. See [1] for a repo full of
Surface ACPI dumps (source for this). I'll add a comment pointing this out
in v2.

As far as I can tell this would work via fwnode_create_software_node /
fwnode_remove_software_node and device properties? I don't seem to find
much documentation on this (there doesn't seem to be an entry for
software nodes in the official docs?), but I think I should be able to
make this work.

As far as I can tell, some of the more generic uses have a non-NULL
gpe_device parameter (acpi/device_pm.c, acpi/wakeup.c) and NULL just
means index-0/main device? Not an expert on that though, so probably
just ignore me here and let the ACPI guys answer this.

Depends on your preference, really. That would also auto-load the module
on Surface Pro 3 and earlier devices (just won't do anything on those).
So it's a trade-off between unnecessary loading of the module and
maintainability/readability. Let me know what you prefer and I'll switch
to that.

Style and other issues are noted, I'll fix them for v2.

Regards,
Max
