The officially stated maintainer for toshiba_acpi seems to be out of
contact,
but I'm responsible for the rfkill patch. I can only say that the patch is
designed
to re-enable bluetooth when the hardware kill switch is de-asserted and
that I tested
this to work before the change was merged. If it doesn't work now, it's
either:

a) a regression introduced by one of the fixes for laptops with no
bluetooth device. I
consider this unlikely.

b) different behaviour in your model of toshiba vs. mine

c) a difference in how you've got the kill switch configured in sysfs. Not
sure if that's
even possible.

As you might conclude, I suspect B.
