There are two choices. We can either set the rfkill to the hardware
state, or we can set the hardware state to the rfkill state. I think
both are valid choices and I'm happy to implement either of them in the
resume path. However, as you point out, right now it's possible for the
user to change the hardware state in the BIOS and cause the two to get
out of sync. That's certainly not ideal.
