It should.  In fact, you should do it in a way that it is possible to
double-block the radio (i.e. in SW while it is blocked in HW), so that if
the HW block goes away, the radio remains blocked.

Read the docs and examples again, please.  There even is special code in the
rfkill_toggle_radio private function to allow for it, we want drivers to be
able to double-block.
