This might just be style, but I'd rather you didn't do this unless get_acpi
and set_acpi do take enum rfkill_state...  Doing state conversion would be a
lot more future-proof, as well:

Something like:
	set_acpi(CM_ASL_WLAN, (state == RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED) ? 0 : 1);

And:

	*state = get_acpi(CM_ASL_WLAN) ? RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED :
						RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED;

Adjust as needed.

This is not needed, and if we get rid of user_claim_unsupported later, your
code wouldn't need changes if you get rid of that line.

I have not paid much attention to it yet, but so far I have failed to
understand what user_claim_unsupported is good for in the new style rfkill
interface.
