Public bug reported:

After using wireless hotkey to disable wireless,
it cannot be turned on again using wireless hotkey.

Steps:
1. Press wireless hotkey to disable wireless
2. Press wireless hotkey to enable wireless - but doesn't work

Expected results: Wireless hotkey can reopen the wireless

Actual results: The wifi is still be blocked

When using Fn + F2 to disable wireless, rfkill shows the wireless
network interfaces are soft blocked:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: yes
      Hard blocked: no
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: yes
      Hard blocked: no

And when we press Fn + F2 again, it should show all "no" in rfkill, but
it has a "yes" in it:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: yes
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no

So the wireless is still be blocked.
If I remove asus_nb_wmi, the bug cannot be reproduced.
