Jiffies wraparound is 49.7 days at HZ=1000.

If someone adds a new rfkill_foo there's a risk that they'll forget to
make the corresponding change here. A comment at the definition sites
would help.


Or, better, do something like

static struct rfkill_task rfkill_tasks[] = {
DEFINE_RFKILL_TASK(RFKILL_TYPE_WLAN),
...
};

#define rfkill_wlan rfkill_tasks[0]
...

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(rfkill_tasks); i++)
...


but the new definition of DEFINE_RFKILL_TASK gets tricky.
