Title:
  [Dell Precision M4300] Bluetooth LED permanently on

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When switching off bluetooth the LED used to also turn off, I re-
  tested quickly with Natty to confirm this, but for at least the last
  two releases the LED is stubbornly staying on all the time.

  I have identified the commit specific to Dell laptops that broke this
  and quite coincidentally this same commit was just reverted on the
  next branch only a few days ago. It's not all good however as the
  companion commits replace a laptop blacklist with a whitelist meaning
  it currently only works with Latitude models so I have to see if I can
  get Precision models also included.

  The commit that resulted in this issue was introduced in 3.5 kernel as
  "dell-laptop: Remove rfkill code"[1]

  I have built and tested the linux next branch code with the revert
  commit [2] and then modify the "Latitude" product string commit [3] to
  "Precision" and the bluetooth LED is now switching off as it should
  do.
