 3.1 Guidelines for wireless device drivers

 1. Each independent transmitter in a wireless device (usually there is only one
 transmitter per device) should have a SINGLE rfkill class attached to it.
 
@@ -363,10 +365,32 @@ This rule exists because users of the rfkill subsystem expect to get (and set,
 when possible) the overall transmitter rfkill state, not of a particular rfkill
 line.
 
-5. During suspend, the rfkill class will attempt to soft-block the radio
-through a call to rfkill->toggle_radio, and will try to restore its previous
-state during resume.  After a rfkill class is suspended, it will *not* call
-rfkill->toggle_radio until it is resumed.
+5. The wireless device driver MUST NOT leave the transmitter enabled during
+suspend and hibernation unless:
+
+	5.1. The transmitter has to be enabled for some sort of functionality
+	like wake-on-wireless-packet or autonomous packed forwarding in a mesh
+	network, and that functionality is enabled for this suspend/hibernation
+	cycle.
+
+AND
+
+	5.2. The device was not on a user-requested BLOCKED state before
+	the suspend (i.e. the driver must NOT unblock a device, not even
+	to support wake-on-wireless-packet or remain in the mesh).
+
+In other words, there is absolutely no allowed scenario where a driver can
+automatically take action to unblock a rfkill controller (obviously, this deals
+with scenarios where soft-blocking or both soft and hard blocking is happening.
+Scenarios where hardware rfkill lines are the only ones blocking the
+transmitter are outside of this rule, since the wireless device driver does not
+control its input hardware rfkill lines in the first place).
