Do not drop the list from the CC's for 2 reasons. I  may get the
answer wrong, or our interchange may help someone else with their
debugging.

For the BCM43XX PCIe modules, the input from the radio kill switch is
wired into the device. When you disable RFKILL in the kernel, all you
disable is the ability of the kernel to deliver the info that the
switch has changed. The driver still reads the state when it loads. If
it was off at startup, it remains off.
