Subject: [PATCH 0/8] asus-wmi: Get rid of quirk_no_rfkill{,_wapf4}

This quirk avoids the conflicting usage of ASUS_WMI_DEVID_WLAN_LED (0x00010002)
by both asus-wireless and asus-wmi on machines where the BIOS can't set and
record the wlan status (wlan_ctrl_by_user in asus-wmi.c). At the moment we have
six models using that quirk upstream, but there are another fifteen for which
we have downstream patches, and will send upstream unless we find a more
dynamic solution. We also expect this list to continue growing.

This series makes use of ASUS_WMI_DSTS_USER_BIT plus the status of the ASHS
device to skip asus_wmi_rfkill_init(). Since asus-wmi now needs to know the ASHS
_HIDs, I have moved device_ids[] to a new header file, asus-wireless.h. I'm not
sure if there are any best practices in the kernel community against having one
module including headers from a different module, but I wanted to avoid
duplicating this list or creating an ordering dependency between the modules.
Any advice on alternatives here are welcome.

PS: I don't think asus-wireless.h needs to also be listed in MAINTAINERS,
please correct me if I'm wrong.
