const?

The comments say this is default "true", but I don't think that makes
sense since this struct would be defined somewhere else and be static
const so zero-initialised. Also, are you sure that even having this
makes sense? (see below)

That appears to be cut short?

Is there really no definition yet? Maybe it would make sense to
dynamically allocate?

That last line is a little oddly formatted.

So if you do this, rfkill core will set the persistent thing. We
discovered a while ago (and I mentioned that in the original thread)
there will be quirky behaviour. I would recommend leaving this out and
just relying on the rfkill core to call set_block() a little after
rfkill_register() to sync the state of this device with the desired
system state.
