Not only there is no benefit, it won't work at all.  The rfkill core will
set the radio state to match the global state for that radio type during the
rfkill_register() call.

Alexandre,  if the thinkpad-sl can store rfkill state across shutdown in
nvram or something like that, there is an API on the rfkill core that you
can use.  The current thinkpad-acpi code does it, you can use that as an
example.
