You'll want to follow the patch submission guidelines:

http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html

before people will look at the patch, because many of the people who
would look at it are quite busy.  That means:

1) use a subject like "[PATCH] rfkill-input: remove deprecated module"
2) Add your Signed-off-by: Your Name <your email>
3) paste your patch *inline*, not as an attachment, and make *sure* to
use the "preformat" or whatever option when you do, so that your mailer
doesn't wrap long lines
