Like Johannes's comment, the rfkill_init_sw_state is a bit tricky
especially when RFKILL_INPUT enabled. The rfkill_init_sw_state will
replicate the state to device global state, then rfkill will replicate
it to other killswitch.

If you want to use rfkill_init_sw_state to set rfkill initial state when
driver probed, then I suggest you need test it when:
	- RFKILL_INPUT enabled
	and
	- when device initial state is disabled(BLOCKED)

If you want to maintain the rfkill initial state by your self, you can
reference this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mjg59/platform-drivers-x86.git;a=commitdiff;h=8215af019040ce9182728afee9642d8fdeb17f59

The patch set intial state by rfkill_set_sw_state after rfkill register,
and don't touch the BIOS (firmware?) state in set_block until driver
probe finished.


Thank's a lot!
Joey Lee
