Thank you. Maybe this was hidden by the fact that I set the name
property to the same string as the node's name.

This is meant to be the identifier of the rfkill API object. It is the
content of /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/name, and the 'ID' in the rfkill
command line tool, that can be used to select a switch, in case a
device has multiple radios of the same type.

These values correspond to the 'enum rfkill_type' in Linux UAPI, but I
think in this context 'radio-type' would be better than 'rfkill-type'.

I don't know either.  My assumption is that this is for devices that
are radio silenced by just asserting their reset pin (for example GPS
chips). The driver handles them the same.

I could remove reset-gpios and make shutdown-gpios required.

The intent was that only one of them would be required.

What could be a generic name for this - is "rfkill" acceptable even
though it is a Linux subsystem name? Or would "rf-kill-switch" be
better?

How should they be called if there are multiple of them?
