Subject: [PATCH 2/5] platform/x86: hp-wmi: handle firmware errors in tablet mode query
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:54:15 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce5cd56d2ba561272770d7992e397dfbec108d4e.1784195117.git.emreleno@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1784195117.git.emreleno@gmail.com>

hp_wmi_get_tablet_mode() accepts any nonnegative return value from
hp_wmi_perform_query() as success. HP firmware errors are positive, so a
rejected query makes the zeroed response look like laptop mode.

Treat every nonzero result as an error and preserve negative transport
errors. The event and resume paths pass the result directly to the input
subsystem, where a negative errno would look like an asserted switch, so
skip the switch update when the query fails.

Fixes: 520ee4ea1cc6 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: Fix SW_TABLET_MODE detection method")
