I wan't to completely ignore events (state) of software\hardware rfkill buttons.
Why would you ever want to do that? I can see that you might want to
ignore soft buttons, but you can use urfkilld for that. Ignoring hard
buttons is completely useless -- they will affect the device they're
wired up to *anyway*.
No. That is not true.

Hardware rfkill button doesn't have any action to wlan\bluetooth
devices on ThinkPad x201i with "CONFIG_RFKILL is not set".
I can assume this is true for other notebooks.
Then why is it a hard button instead of the soft button on a separate
platform device?
