I like it, it's cleaner.
I've split the patch in two pieces (one for video, the other for
radeon) and adopted your suggestion.

BTW, I'm leaving for vacation in a few hours, I'll be offline till mid
August.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ACPI video: allow events handlers to veto the keypress

The standard video events may be overloaded for device specific
purposes. For example AMD ACPI interface overloads
ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE (0x81) to signal AMD-specific events. In such
cases we don't want to send the keypress (KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE) to the
userspace because the user did not press the mode switch key (the
spurious keypress confuses the DE which usually changes the
display configuration and messes up a dual-screen setup).
This patch gives the handlers the chance to examine the event and
block the keypress if the event is device specific.
v2: refactor as suggested by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang at intel.com>

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/radeon: block the keypress on ATIF events

The AMD ACPI interface may use ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE to signal SBIOS
requests; block the keypress in this case since the user did not
actually press the mode switch key.
