20 bytes, but only 4 of them end up being used?

goto on success, continue failure? That's a pretty atypical pattern, and 
the goto's not even really needed in this case.

Is it guaranteed that further reads will still return the failure state?

Ditto for this block.

This is kind of ugly. Are there any Samsung laptops where reading the 
bios area is going to cause problems?

dev_err()? It'd be nice to have a prefix on the failure cases.

No way to identify whether or not the hardware has wifi before 
registering rfkill?
