No other comments from me -- but since the v11 of the rfkill rewrite
will certainly hit the tree before your patch (it's almost in) you
_will_ have to work against it. I'll also try to make the cfg80211
rfkill hit the tree very soon for reasons I'll explain elsewhere -- you
would be better off working against that because then your rfkill code
is very very very simple and doesn't need to do much at all.
