dell-laptop: Remove rfkill code a6c2390cd6d2083d27a2359658e08f2d3df375ac
This patch causes some trouble with my dell laptop (Vostro 3300). It produces some annoying behaviour with the Wifi kill-switch.
As rfkill can not get the state of the physical kill-switch, both state may differ.
physical switch is OFF rfkill state is ON => Laptop hangs on boot (maybe because a physical ascent device is used by network subsystem)
physical switch is OFF rfkill state is OFF => Activate interface in Gnome Connection Manager => System hang
test setup: Dell Vostro 3300 Broadcom 4313 Wifi Kernel 3.5.[0-2] & 3.6 Fedora 17

Again this is an example for patches accepted in mainline without being tested on supported hardware :-(
