I believe that we simply need to tell EC to keep its hands off RF
switch. As long as key is properly reported through input layer rfkill
should be able to control the RF equipment, either via rfkill-input
in-kernel shortcut or userspace daemon (when it is ready).
I agree EC don't need touch the RF switch by default, I will contact
with them to discuss.

But, 
Currently, the Acer BIOS already shipped to world wide, and BIOS guys
give me tThat's why I contribute launch-manager mode patch to here.
I understand that certain BIOSes do, by default, toggle the switch. I
also believe that we want to disable this. The question that still is
not answered why we need the module option? Why don't we _always_
tell EC to keep its hands off RF switch?
Fully understood, now.

I also agreed direct enable the launch manager mode to tell EC don't
touch RF. It pother any other RF switch implementation, like
rfkill-input or any other userland daemon.


Thank's
Joey Lee
