Modules such as nouveau.ko and i915.ko have a link time dependency on acpi_lid_open(), and due to its use of acpi_bus_register_driver(), the button.ko module that provides it is only loadable when booted in ACPI mode. However, the ACPI button driver can be built into the core kernel as well, in which case the dependency can always be satisfied, and the dependent modules can be loaded regardless of whether the system was booted in ACPI mode or not. So let's fix this asymmetry by making the ACPI button driver loadable as a module even if not booted in ACPI mode, so it can provide the acpi_lid_open() symbol in the same way as when built into the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
