FWIW, I consider them to be both the kind of small thing that should go in
for 2.6.27.  It considerably enhances the LED usability of rfkill.

And I think patch 2/2 qualifies as a bug fix.  I believe it makes sense even
without 1/2?

BTW, Dmitry, since you seem to use rfkill LED, could I convince you to try
your hand at moving all the LED functionality from the current "hooks inside
the code paths" we use in rfkill.c to a "rfkill notify handler-based"
approach?  The could should get cleaner and maybe even lose some LOC with
that refactoring...  Maybe it can even go into a separate module.
