The purpose of this patch is to introduce a fix and removal of the
current hack when determining tablet mode status.
Determining the tablet mode status requires reading Byte 0 bit 2 as
reported by HPWMI_HARDWARE_QUERY. The investigation identified the
failure was rooted in two areas: HPWMI_HARDWARE_QUERY failure (0x05)
and reading Byte 0, bit 2 only to determine the table mode status.
HPWMI_HARDWARE_QUERY WMI failure also rendered the dock state value
invalid.
The latest changes use SMBIOS Type 3 (chassis type) and WMI Command
0x40 (device_mode_status) information to determine if the device is
in tablet mode or not.
hp_wmi_hw_state function was split into two functions;
hp_wmi_get_dock_state and hp_wmi_get_tablet_mode. The new functions
separate how dock_state and tablet_mode is handled in a cleaner
manner.
All changes were validated on a HP ZBook Workstation notebook,
HP EliteBook x360, and HP EliteBook 850 G8.
