The rfkill_init_sw_state will replicate the state to device global state, then rfkill will replicate it to other killswitch. If you want to use rfkill_init_sw_state to set rfkill initial state when driver probed, then I suggest you need test it when: - RFKILL_INPUT enabled and - when device initial state is disabled(BLOCKED) If you want to maintain the rfkill initial state by your self, you can reference this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mjg59/platform-drivers-x86.git;a=commitdiff;h=8215af019040ce9182728afee9642d8fdeb17f59 The patch set intial state by rfkill_set_sw_state after rfkill register, and don't touch the BIOS (firmware?) state in set_block until driver probe finished.
