I think that's not acceptable, as it introduces a nasty (although unlikely)
race condition with the band switch. I will think about it and will fix
it myself then. If there's no way to properly fix it, I think it may also
be OK to live with this damn unlikely race.
Please also add the call to request_module() into the rfkill init and test
if it works properly. After that, please send the complete patch back to me
and I will try to fix the locking issue.
Anyway, this patch looks nice. Good work.
