Indeed. I think we really do need ways to represent this kind of device.
If we can't then how are we supposed to get rid of board files?

I guess it depends a bit. Some rfkill-type devices may control more than
just WiFi (bluetooth, NFC, ...). If it really only controls WiFi, I
think it would still be reasonable to represent it as a child of the
WiFi device. It is, after all, a mechanism to control the WiFi hardware.
Alternatively I suppose we wouldn't really need to have an explicit
node. The WiFi driver could simply instantiate an rfkill device based on
its own properties.
