Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] platform: x86: dell-rbtn: Export notifier for other

The commit message needs to describe the problem being addressed as well. Why is
this necessary?

We try to avoid using such parameters to define behavior when possible.
Why is it justified to use auto_remove_rfkill here? When is it needed? As
opposed to doing something that works based on the detected hardware? (It could
be this is the right thing, but we have to justify it).

If you want to emphasize a comment, use a block comment. Apply throughout.

Descending line length order. Apply throughout where feasible.

Maybe it's just late... but "first" what?
