Right this is only style change. Not that when I sent it I thought :
#define A (x)
was like:
#define A(X)()

thus the patch and the comment.

Thankfully it does not hurt though it does not help either . My getting
the issue fixed was that I had EV_KEY  instead of EV_SW for the rfkill
switch. I mixed the results of this test and the one about this patch.

By the way I found out that I had rfkill-input loaded for no good reason
(only because the debian eeepc acpi support package load it at boot).
If one load it at the same time as rt2800pci crash follows next rfkill
switch. 
That could be due to the init of the rfkill-input module that register a
handler to input subsystem. Its connect operation triggers a start which
itself triggers the EV_SW,and swbit code of its device. Thus it would
explain that the device is shut down at registration of the
input_register_polled_device.  
 

This is minor as on eeepc the status is always on (when off the device
is out of power and thus no status is available) and the rfkill for wlan
is already managed by eeepc-laptop platform driver.
One only need not have rfkill-input loaded which is the default on
debian and may be required by other uses .

Regards,
Alban

PS: sorry for the mistake and the time I took to tell about it. Finding
out the real culprit of the crash/invalid behaviour (crash is new ...
reproducible though) took time.
