We are confusing 2 issues here -
(i) configuring the choices of lid-close event.
(ii) Thermal events -
If temp crosses threshold - then shutdown.
(ii) is the issue here - and disallowing (i) as a solution is
inappropriate.
If (ii) is broken for some class - then possibly one could argue that
lid event - or a host of other things that may raise temps could be
disallowed - how about using the CPU - disallow - or the power supply
for that matter ... :-)
But let us not confuse the issues please - the problem with
overheating should be handled by thermal event handler not lid close.
