Yes, agree with you, and I'm trying to do that, add a
rfkill_init_sw_state between rfkill_alloc() and rfkill_register()...

+       ec_read(OT_EC_DEVICE_STATE_ADDRESS, &value);
+       rfkill_init_sw_state(rfkill_dev, (value & mask) != 1);


However, test shows the EC seems not ready yet when booting runs here
(value = 0), and then all the radio set as "blocked". Hence the radio
state can't be persistent during reboot.. This is not we want.

Also tried to read out the EC address a little bit later, seems the EC
won't be ready until very late.

Am I doing something wrong? or I need to check with HW guy about this.
