It's this patch is added to -rc4? I one case I have strange behaviour.

Before disable by button:
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# rfkill list
2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
16: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
17: phy7: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
	
Disable by button:
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# rfkill list
2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
17: phy7: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
	
I do s2disk. After resume from suspend to disk (still disabled by button):
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# rfkill list
2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
18: phy8: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
	
Try enable by button:
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# rfkill list
2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
18: phy8: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
	
Nothing change (LED, wireless and bluetooth don't work). To enable it
I use this script rfkill.sh (I must use rfkill program):

#!/bin/sh
PROGRAM=/usr/local/sbin/rfkill
WIFI=`$PROGRAM list | grep -E 'Wireless|Bluetooth' | cut -d  ':' -f 1`

for DEVICE in $WIFI; do
  echo $DEVICE
  $PROGRAM unblock $DEVICE
done

Then works OK:
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# ./rfkill.sh
2
3
18
root@...is:/home/maciek/Desktop# rfkill list
2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
18: phy8: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
19: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
	
It's normal behaviour?
