I really don't understand why this is needed. What benefit does it give
us compared to just sent OP_CHANGE and OP_CHANGE as an update. My X200
for example does this anyway on suspend/resume.

So what is rfkilld suppose to be doing when receiving this report? What
is the expected behavior? Why do we bother with multi-OS crap here? I am
really unclear what are we trying to solve here.
