Hi! This looks strange. Driver dell_rbnt is just receiver of BIOS/ACPI
events. It receive hotkey or slide switch event and translate it into
either linux input keypress or rfkill block event. But dell_rbnt driver
itself cannot set or change wireless rfkill or airplane mode.

So my opinion is that BIOS/ACPI could send such event, dell_rbnt then
propagate it into userspace and some application process it and do
something...
