+ * Retrieves the state of the lid switch.

+ * The get_lid_switch() function checks if lid switch functionality is enabled
+ * in the coreboot configuration. If the VBOOT_LID_SWITCH Kconfig option is
+ * enabled, it retrieves the lid switch state from the Embedded Controller (EC).
+ *
+ * If the GBB_FLAG_DISABLE_LID_SHUTDOWN Kconfig option is enabled, this function
+ * will always return 1 (lid open), effectively faking the lid status. This is
+ * intended for stages post-romstage, particularly during display-related
+ * initialization, where lid-based shutdown should be suppressed.
+ *
+ * @return 1 if the lid is open, 0 if the lid is closed, or -1 if the lid switch
+ * functionality is not configured (VBOOT_LID_SWITCH is disabled).
