Mattia,

Does this patch makes sense for just the Vaio? I've had positive feedback from
the tester in the bug report.

Subject: [PATCH] Sony laptop: Some Sony Vaio laptops do not enable wwan power by default.

Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364678

Added quirk to enable wwan power based on DMI information already present in the module.
It appears that wwan is not powered up from a cold boot.

It'd make more sense to change the wwan power option to use rfkill. That 
way it'll be powered up at appropriate times.

The laptop model that doesn't power up wwan on cold boot contains a
"Sony Programmable IO Control Driver" ("VGN-" according to the DMI
info). It appears that only laptops with a "Sony Notebook Control
Driver" enjoy rfkill goodness. I don't know for sure if those models
fail to power up wwan when rfkill is disabled.

Right. It'd need porting to the rfkill infrastructure, rather than just 
being a sysfs attribute.

Agreed, the only thing I'm missing is how to read the initial device
state (same for bluetooth and wifi).
I've been throwing some values at the SPIC device with much success for
now. Tracing in windows is a big no-no as it dies on me as soon as I
start any tracing utility.
I'm open for suggestions.

The bug reporter says that this happens when booting from windows to
linux, is it still true when manually enabling the device in linux and
then rebooting (into linux again)?

This is like just enabling it on all type3 (and some type2) vaios.
Might as well call your quirk unconditionally for all models.

Honestly I'd rather work towards the rfkill implementation as Matthew
suggests.

I can probably find out, though I'm not sure what impact it would have
on the driver. Does this laptop have a physical rfkill slider switch
from which you can somehow query initial state via ACPI or GPIO? If not,
then I assume the desired behavior is to just enable wwan and bluetooth
upon every boot ?
