I will point out however, that having the icon doesn't mean it will
work. On my laptop that has a rotating screen that goes to tablet mode,
I have that icon but it doesn't work.
Oh, that's useful. I didn't know that. Those should have mouse-over
tool-tips.
I have 4: Settings, Auto-rotate, Lock session, and Power.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. :(
I was able to do some further digging, though, and found:

https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/issues/82
The workaround was to change Type=dbus to Type=idle in
/lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service
It seems the core of the problem is that the service starts way too early,
before the driver is loaded, and it can't accommodate the driver being
loaded after it has started.
Maybe that will help you also.
