What practical problem this fix? I'm asking, because my RF_KILL commit
went to stable, shouldn't this fix go to stable as well?

We seeing problem when we perform the following step:

1. Load the driver
2. Switch HW RF kill ON
3. Switch HW RF Kill OFF
4. Check the status with "rfkill list"

Repeat few time, the "Hard blocked" will stay "yes", at this point, the only way to fix is to unload the driver.

You are right, this patch should back port to stable since the commit 554d1d027b19265c4aa3f718b3126d2b86e09a08 backport to stable.
