Great, looks good.

I did question "depends on RFKILL".  If you manually configure a
kernel, you will miss "If you have a modern Toshiba laptop with a
Bluetooth and an RFKill switch (such as the Portege R500), say Y."
unless you enable RFKILL first.  (Which is unnecessary since the
driver will work exactly the same with RFKILL=n).  I wouldn't call it
a strong objection, but it would be nice to hear the reason you
included this dependency.

Everything else looks fine.  Thanks for working on this.
