iPad rotation bug in iOS 10

SInce iOS 10.0, my iPad Air 2 gets stuck in landscape mode from time to time and there is no way to rotate except a reboot. This seems to be a bug in iOS 10 that needs to be addressed.

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 10.1.1, null

Hi. There are a couple of suggestions here Re: Screen rotation not working but they may have stopped working with the iOS 10.2 update. It should always be fixed by restarting (power off and back on, not just sleep). According to multiple users, the rotation locking happens randomly, and only affects iPad Air 2. I suspect there's a bug in the firmware for the M8 motion coprocessor, or in the interface between it and generic iOS code. You're the 49th different poster with this problem since iOS 10.1.1 came out.
