You can of course keep the current _wrong_ behaviour of blocking the
radio when suspending, but instead of adding extra API for the
wake-on-wlan case you should work on fixing that.

If you think that you then need to review all drivers, so be it. I don't
think it makes sense because keeping the device alive requires
additional code nobody in their right mind would write unless they knew
they needed it, like libertas.

As it stands, rfkill also does the wrong thing for rfkill. You don't
have to fix it, of course, but don't add workarounds.
