Just built a new kernel (6.14.4-arch1-2) with the patch. Seems to indeed have
fixed the issue:

❯ rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE              SOFT      HARD
 0 wlan      asus-wlan      unblocked unblocked
 1 bluetooth asus-bluetooth unblocked unblocked
 2 bluetooth hci0           unblocked unblocked
 3 wlan      phy0           unblocked unblocked

I'm not sure if this is solely due to this patch, but Wi-Fi also seems to
automatically be re-enabled after resuming from suspend. I'll have to test this
on a clean install some other time.

I had been mucking around the asus-wmi code for a while but couldn't figure out
what was going on such that asus-wlan was being soft-blocked. Turns out it was
an issue I had no hope of understanding, way out of my scope of knowledge.

Thank you so much for the fix!

Thank you so much as well, bugreporter23, sorry I couldn't help much further
with debugging, though, lol.
