Parallel to previous blocks, you can release_buffer() here...

And just return here

And drop this label.

Please follow coding style for multi-line comments.

Just "if (ret)" is more typical

Save an additional indent block and all the braces with:

		/* rfkill is only tested on laptops with a hwswitch */
		if (!force_rfkill)
			return 0

		/* clear all hw-controlled bits */
		hwswitch_state &= ~7;

This is OK, but this block reverses the ret/status terms applied to output[0]
and output[1] which is a little confusing.
