ideapad_rfk_set is also called in ideapad_register_rfkill:

static int ideapad_register_rfkill(struct acpi_device *adevice, int dev)
{
...
	if (no_bt_rfkill && (ideapad_rfk_data[dev].type == RFKILL_TYPE_BLUETOOTH))
		return 0;
...
	rfkill_init_sw_state(priv->rfk[dev], 0);
}

The rfkill_init_sw_state call to unblock the device finally calls
ideapad_rfk_set. In the no_bt_rfkill=1 case rfkill_init_sw_state isn't
called, thus the device is not unblocked if it was blocked before.
Hence, if I prior disabled BT in Windows, the device remains invisible.
This is why I think a manual call to ideapad_rfk_set in the
no_bt_rfkill=1 case would make the BT device visible.

"manual" in terms of:
	if (no_bt_rfkill && (ideapad_rfk_data[dev].type == RFKILL_TYPE_BLUETOOTH))
	{
		ideapad_rfk_set(???, 0);
		return 0;
	}

But I don't know what to provide as "???".
