Well, rfkill support is not related only to input devices, but also to
transmitters.  And EVERY transmitter MUST have one (and a single one) rfkill
class attached to it, unless the hardware is completely and utterly unable
to block its transmitter(s).  I hope no rt2x00 device is like that...

Which I will take to mean that all rt2x00 drivers, be them USB or PCI, will
do whatever is needed (including shutting down transmitters explicitly, when
the hardware doesn't do it implicitly because of something else the driver
is doing) on their own suspend() methods.

Is that correct?  Because that's all patch 5 of 5 is concerned with.
