i feels that current logic is weird and it is very difficult to
understand when i read rfkill code.

i think it deserves a comments for current logic if it is right.

current logic was introduced by below code applet of the commit
Commit: 14486c82612a ("rfkill: add a reason to the HW rfkill state")
-       prev = !!(rfkill->state & RFKILL_BLOCK_HW);
-       if (blocked)
+       prev = !!(rfkill->hard_block_reasons & reason);
+       if (blocked) {
                rfkill->state |= RFKILL_BLOCK_HW;

i maybe need to find history to try to understand current logic if it is
right.
