Title: rtw89: Support hardware rfkill Status in HWE Next: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-oem-6.11 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in linux source package in Noble: In Progress Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Noble: Invalid Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Noble: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Oracular: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Oracular: Invalid Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Oracular: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] With RTL8852BE and "Control WLAN radio" (in Dell BIOS setting) on, wifi function is not be disabled when we plug in the Ethernet cable. The issue is because the rtw89 driver doesn't have the hardware rfkill mechanism. [Fix] Backport the Realtek patch in linux-next: 0b38e6277aed wifi: rtw89: add support for hardware rfkill This patch also adds the rfkill functionalities to RTL8852BT, which is currently not supported by Ubuntu kernels. So we omit the modification on drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw8852bt.c. [Test Plan] 1. Enable Control WLAN radio in BIOS setting 2. Boot into OS 2. Plug in Ethernet cable 3. On success, the WiFi icon in Gnome GUI should be disappeared in few seconds. [Where problems could occur] This patch adds the functionality of hardware rfkill by continuously polling the register of GPIO pin status and determines whether to shutdown the device based on the value read. If the register read is somehow buggy, it may cause that the device is shutdown unexpectedly.
