Title:
  Screen should not rotate automatically on a laptop

Status in IIO Sensor Proxy:
  Unknown
Status in OEM Priority Project:
  New
Status in iio-sensor-proxy package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There are recently more machines shipped with an accelerometer to
  bring about the automatic rotation feature on pad-like or 2in1
  products. However, manufacturers sometimes share designs between
  platforms; a laptop may mount an accelerometer on its panel. The user
  experience on laptops with a fixed keyboard/touchpad that rotates
  automatically is somehow annoying, and the touchpad motion is
  confusing.

  The SMBIOS specification defines chassis type in section 7.4.1. Softwares can 
determine to rotate automatically or not by checking this value, or at least 
not to rotate on a laptop(0x09) and notebook(0x0A).
