Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] Topstar U931/RVP7 ACPI LED Workaround

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your review. Changes since the previous submission are
highlighted below.

On Topstar U931/RVP7 Notebooks, an issue prevents the WLAN toggle key
from being properly managed by the Embedded Controller and successfully
disconnect the adapter. A specific ACPI method allows to toggle the WLAN
LED state regardless.

Based on a DMI check, the LED is registered within the corresponding
subsystem, making possible to use a software-based trigger (rfkill for
instance, to synchronize the LED with the network interface state).

Thank you for your time,

Changes since v2:

* revert an older conversion from a generic module to an acpi driver
module instead of undoing it manually,
* separate commits for the renaming and the spliting phases,
* DMI-based check instead of a module parameter,
* copyright and minor fixes put at the end.

Changes since v1:

* leave devices names unchanged for ABI compatibility,
* fix label names,
* separate module authors definition,
* add commit description to Patch 3.
