[Bug 1943561] Re: Add ACCEL_LOCATION=base property for 6 Dell clamshell models

[Lukas Märdian]

Hey, thank you for providing an updated patch!

I've included it in todays systemd v249 upload in jammy:
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/systemd/commit/?h=ubuntu-jammy&id=9f99081482b76a7b717e39ef4380f08093e4359a

Jammy uses kernel 5.15 so it is fine to drop the modalias names and rely
on SKU alone (as is done upstream).

For Focal and Hirsute you're only adding the new SKU matches, which
should be fine, too.

But I'm wondering what exactly is the situation on Impish? Impish uses
kernel 3.13 so the SKU kernel change should be included and the same fix
as posted above for Jammy should apply. But OTOH in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1938259/comments/15
you mentioned that the SRU uploaded last time (that removes the modalias
names) regressed in Impish.

Could you please clarify this situation for Impish, or ideally provide a
debdiff as you did for the other series? Thanks!

Bug description:
  This hwdb update is to avoid unwanted screen rotation when tilting the
  laptop.

  This is the update to the previously rolled back SRU LP: #1938259

  [Impact]

   * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop
  models with accelerometer.

  [Test Plan]

   * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0A36, 0A3E, 0B09, 0B0B, 0B0D, 0B11, install this package and ensure the kernel is updated to the latest.
   * Screen should be correct side up in login screen and desktop.
   * Tilt the laptop and the screen should not be rotated.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not
  affect any other part of systemd.

   * Only models with the same Dell SKU would be affected.

  [scope]

  this is needed for all releases

  this is being added to upstream by
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20314 and
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20661
