Subject: [22/70] Revert: "dell-laptop: Toggle the unsupported hardware killswitch"

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Keng-Yu Lin <kengyu@...onical.com>

commit be65dde82a4a402e9607c2f306f343bf0912623c upstream.

This reverts commit a3d77411e8b2ad661958c1fbee65beb476ec6d70,

as it causes a mess in the wireless rfkill status on some models.
It is probably a bad idea to toggle the rfkill for all dell models
without the respect to the claim that it is hardware-controlled.
