I've got two reports which says after poking the ec register, the phy0 rfkill reports hard blocked by mistake. And few hours ago I get the third report says the similar issue. I will summary the report.
I am thinking about alternative way
Since we have thinkpad_acpi and ideapad_laptop, both of them have rfkill capability. If there is VPC2004/IBM0068/LEN0068 in DSDT, then it will be fine if we do not register rfkill in acer-wmi.
Any thought?
