Oh, and ath_hal_enable_rfkill() maps to setting the capability bit:

#define ath_hal_enable_rfkill(_ah, _v) \
    ath_hal_setcapability(_ah, HAL_CAP_RFSILENT, 1, _v, AH_NULL)

.. so, the AR9300 HAL code is enabling RFKILL in the HAL and then the
call to ar9300_enable_rf_kill() is unconditionally turning it on. We
likely can't do that for everyone.

So, I wonder why this is required for you!
