[haiku-development] acpi_thinkpad: request for assistance

Hi all,

I've started working on a small acpi_thinkpad driver and have
already faced some issues where I could use a little help.

Primary goal was to enable the bluetooth device via APCI when
it is not. Unfortunately I can only toggle the wifi device
and only disable the (usb-attached) bluetooth device. Enabling
it doesn't work out. Haven't yet found a cause for this.

Additionally I need some hints on acquiring the acpi_embedded_controller
acpi_device handle. I am not sure if I am doing it entirely right.
(Or if that what I am doing is by chance just not crashing but seriously
wrong.)

I'd like some more devs having a look at this and give some help/insight.
(Especially as some of you people own ThinkPads as well.)

Is it ok to file an enhancement ticket (including a small patch) for
that preliminary work and track further development and support there,
or would you rather have that discussed here?

Thanks in advance!
Michael
