Does it help when you run
	request_module("rfkill-input");
_before_ calling acer_rfkill_init_device() ?

Perhaps the rfkill-input needs to be registered before input
devices are being registered. But I am not sure, Dmitry propably
knows more about possible ordering requirements for input
device and input trigger registration.
