Hey,
If you are working on source of android you can just remove all rfkill
related source from bluedroid/bluetooth.c build your source and it
should work!!
Like:
int bt_enable() {
LOGV(__FUNCTION__);
int ret = -1;
int hci_sock = -1;
int attempt;
/********************* Remove this **********************/
if (set_bluetooth_power(1) < 0) goto out;
..
..
..
Also check_bluetooth_power and set_bluetooth_power from other places
