[PATCH 3/3] platform: x86: dell-laptop: Use dell-rbtn instead i8042 filter when possible

From: Pali RohÃr
Date: Sun Nov 23 2014 - 10:10:04 EST


Until now module dell-laptop registered rfkill device which used i8042 filter
function for receiving HW switch rfkill events (handling special keycode).

But for some dell laptops there is native ACPI driver dell-rbtn which can
receive rfkill events (without i8042 hacks). On some machines it can also
control rfkill devices, but can turn on/off all radio devices.

So this patch will combine best from both sides. It will use native ACPI driver
dell-rbtn for receiving events and dell-laptop SMBIOS interface for enabling or
disabling radio devices. If ACPI driver or device will not be available fallback
to i8042 filter function will be used.
