I assume you have good reason for having sw_block depend on hw_block.
I.e. you can't read sw_blocked while hw_blocked is set, right?

If KILLSWITCH is toggled on and off, will the hardware "forget" any
prior soft-blocks?

It would also be nice to know if hardware/firmware ever changes
sw_blocked, e.g. in response to a button press.

Johannes, I think I'm confusing myself here.  Can you have a look at
this code?  I remember the rfkill rewrite was designed to help with
something like this, but I don't know how exactly.

Thanks
Alan
