           Summary: GPS device not registered: BCM4752 in Samsung Galaxy
                    book 12 (W728N)

extract of DSDT table

The GPS device is not registered in the rfkill module. 
In the acpi table the gps module is named as SSE4752, which is a Broadcom
BCM4752 according to internet searches. For this device the kernel module
"rfkill-gpio" should provide an entry in the rfkill list. 

The device is visible under "/sys/bus/acpi/devices/SSE4752:00":
hid:SSE4752
hrv:2560
modalias:acpi:SSE4752:
path:\_SB_.GPS0
status: 15
uevent: MODALIAS=acpi:SSE4752:

so far everything seems proper. For the power switching I loaded the kernel
module "rfkill-gpio". The gpd device didn't appear in the rfkill device list.

I updated the match list for the module "rfkill-gpio", afterwards the module is
loaded at boot time, but the device is stillnot registered. I made the module
more chatty and found out, that the procedure "rfkill_gpio_probe" is not
launched. 

Within the module a platform device shall be probed. However, the device
doesn't appear under "/sys/devices/platform/". It appears under
"/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00". I suggest, that this is the origin for
the misbehavior.

What would be the appropriate way to register the GPS device for rfkill power
switching? Who can help?
