Tested-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxxx>

Tested on 2 cards in Mikrotik RB-14 adapter.  One was OK without the
patch.  The other was shown as hard-blocked by rfkill and didn't work.
With the rfkill_disable=1, both cards work.  Soft rfkill is still
working properly.

Please consider a parameter name that indicates that only hard rfkill is
affected, for instance "no_hw_rfkill".
