As of d64c732dfc9e ("net: rfkill: gpio: add DT support") rfkill-gpio device can be instantiated via device tree. Add the declaration there and drop board-paz00.c file and relevant Makefile fragments.

With the reset-gpio line mentioned above removed, you can add my Tested-By.Thank you Marc. I am still a bit confused about the reset gpio. As far as I understand looking through old commits reset gpio (PD1) is distinct from the LED gpio (PD0) that is currently being controlled by "gpio-leds".
well, the situation is a bit complicated. First, D1 gpio is eletrical ORed with the Wifi LED gpio (D0), which you can confirm by checking the schematic (google is your friend). The said schematic contains two nearly identical devices (Toshiba Netbook AC100, aka Procyon and Toshiba tablet Folio 100, aka Sirius). GPIO D1 is also used on the tablet to rfkill the wifi/bt module on an M2 card, while the Notebook has wifi on a separate usb port (JP2) (and G3 modem on an M2 card), where D1 is not connected to at all. At least that's how I understand it.
I guess the rfkill driver needs at least one of "reset" or "shutdown" gpios, and that is why it continues to work with only shutdown, but I am trying to understand if PD1 was never connected to the WiFi chip reset line and instead is used for something else, or if it is indeed a reset line...
see above.
Was the patch not working with reset-gpios present? I am trying to gather data to craft a proper commit message.
It also works with the reset-gpio, but just because it is not connected to anything beside the LED on this machine. Maybe I should also add that there are also variants of the Netbook with integrated bluetooth (and without 3G), but I don't know where it is connected to (maybe also to the M2 socket). In order to support such machines, we could use a second rfkill device for bluetooth only I guess. The original code used a single rfkill device in order to control both gpios together for a common rfkill I guess. I just don't have such a variant, so I cannot test it. Best wishes, Marc
