Subject: acer_wmi: Acer TravelMate B116-M not fully supported

Hello,

I have an Acer TravelMate B116-M laptop. Unfortunately the Toogle Wifi
key (Fn+F3) and Switch Video Mode key (Fn+F5) does not work.
I use Kernel 4.8.2. When loading acer_wmi I see the following log messages:

> acer_wmi: Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras
> acer_wmi: Function bitmap for Communication Button: 0x1
> acer_wmi: Enabling Launch Manager failed: 0xe4 - 0x0
> input: Acer WMI hotkeys as /devices/virtual/input/input8

/proc/bus/input/devices reports:

> I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
> N: Name="Acer WMI hotkeys"

And the output of "evtest /dev/input/event7":

> Input driver version is 1.0.1

evtest only recognizes switching the touchpad on and off. When pressing
Fn+F3 or Fn+F5 no event is generated.
Is it possible to add support for the Acer TravelMate B116-M? If you
need more information or if I should test a patch, please let me know.

Thanks,
Christian
