I don't know about the actual implementation, but if you use a polling mechanism then it is wrong. Can't you make this interrupt driven. The desktop use case needs RFKILL support, because that will be used for switching off the radio. Just think about the flight mode case. So the only case where disabling RFKILL support makes sense would be an embedded system with specific constraints. However even in the embedded case, I don't see that usefulness.
