I hate all these extra options that are basically useless since we enable them anyway. There have already been various complains about useless options. So at least hide them inside CONFIG_EMBEDDED if you really think it is worth it. My personal opinion is that RFKILL support should not be optional. If the hardware supports it then it should be enabled.
