What is the state of 'acer-wmi: Only update rfkill status for associated
hotkey events' ? Is that patch working its way upstream ?

Is that patch working its way upstream ? Yes. It's sitting in Matthew Garrett's for_linus branch. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mjg59/platform-drivers-x86.git;a=commit;h=92530664bbe5a13aede4a8763459bbe560ad9221

Guess I must have grabbed an old version when I was reworking the branch to remove an unneeded patch. I updated the branch with the correct version, so make sure you get that one instead of the patch I pushed originally. I double-checked the other two patches, and they are correct.

My preference would be to wait until the patch makes its way upstream in its final form. rtg

Thanks.
All patches are either upstream backports or queued for upstream in the platform-drivers-x86 tree. SRU Justification Impact: The wlan on the Acer Aspire 1830 always has a soft block applied due to incorrect values read from the BIOS on periodic updates. Fix: Backport patch that makes this model use WMI events to update rfkill states instead of periodic polling. Data in WMI events accurately reflects the status of the blocks. The backport results in a wlan soft block when pressing the touchpad hotkey, so also include a fix to only update rfkill states when wireless hotkeys are pressed as well as a trivial patch to support the wlan hotkey on this model. Test case: Verify that wlan soft block can be removed, wlan hotkey functions, and touchpad hotkey does not affect wlan on the affected model. Tested on LP #771758.
