Looking at the functions ath_is_rfkill_set() and ath9k_rfkill_poll_state() in gpio.c, this issue causes wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() always to be passed false when ah->rfkill_polarity==1, breaking rfkill. I don't know how common devices with ah->rfkill_polarity==1 are. I became aware of this issue when rebasing an out-of-tree patch in LEDE which uses the WMAC GPIOs to configure some kind of bandpass filter found in Ubiquiti hardware. (I hope to find time to get this patch upsteam at some point...) Matthias
