Subject: [PATCH 2/2] enhance /sys/class/rfkill/<rfkill>/state interface

Introduce a new state-value RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_AND_HARD_BLOCKED
which is returned only through the sysfs state file.
The other interfaces are designed so that they don't need this extra
state.

This allows the sysfs to represent all possible states an rfkill driver can
have.

Signed-off-by: Florian Mickler <florian@...kler.org>

After stumbling over this arbitrary limitation of sys/class/rfkill/*/state I
wondered what would hinder this patch?
