I see. Our main wifi-related goal currently is not to actually fix the
driver, it's rather to bandaid it to avoid most easily reproducible
races most of the time.

I do not consider races with rfkill at all currently, i can't see why
spend time on that since rfkill is redudant and useless in our case.

Probably it means only that an unpowered module was powered, i don't
think that's something to worry about.
