Can rfkill_force_state recurse into b43_rfkill_soft_toggle()?
input_report_key could do this in the past (Dunno if that's still true now),
so that's why it's done outside of the lock to avoid deadlocks.

Also keep in mind that N and LP(?) devices report state through interrupt.

Why not using delayed work instead of reinventing the wheel?
Also please schedule it on the mac80211 workqueue to avoid possible
deadlocks with the networking core.

cancel the work. I'm not sure whether to do it here, however.
One must take care to avoid deadlocks for wl->mutex.
I don't know from the top of my head whether b43_rfkill_exit is called
with the mutex locked or not. However, in case it is, dropping and
reaquireing the lock is not an option.
