I guess we can drop that pr_info, and please block the issuing of the
event to userspace, like this:

case TP_HKEY_EV_AC_CHANGED:
/* X120e, x121e, X220, X220i, X220t, X230, T420, T420s, W520:
* AC status changed; can be triggered by plugging or
* unplugging AC adapter, docking or undocking, or closing
* or opening the lid. */

/* fallthrough */

and letting it proceed to the TP_HKEY_EV_KEY_NUMLOCK block.

Also, do we have any confirmed reports about the lid switch
causing event 0x6040? It doesn't look right... the comment
might need to be updated.
