WiMAX can work without RFKILL, but it was missing a check to make sure RFKILL is not being made a module with wimax compiled into the kernel. This caused failed builds in s390, where CONFIG_INPUT is always off. When RFKILL is enabled, the code uses the input layer to report hardware switch changes; thus, if RFKILL is enabled, INPUT has to be too. It also needs to display some message when INPUT is disabled that explains why WiMAX is not selectable. (issues found by Randy Dunlap in the linux-next tree).
