I do think it should be OK to do both renames, since it is very unlikely that a device would have keys for WIMAX and WWAN at the same type. We don't even have to rename KEY_WIMAX, we can have KEY_WWAN and KEY_WIMAX map both to the same keycode. Inaky? IMO, this is an USER INTERFACE part of the kernel. The user will either interact with radios one-by-one (and the rfkill class provides this anyway, even without separate types), or he will want to deal with abstract concepts: "all radios", "wireless wan", "wireles lan", "personal-space radios (UWB, BT)"... I.e. I am not even sure we should have UWB and BT as separate types... but naming UWB "Bluetooth" would be wrong, too, so a proper fix there is harder (breaks stable ABI with userspace). I'd think so. We can add a desc field to rfkill with a more human-friendly, not required to be unique, description of the switch. e.g.: "Intel WiMAX 1234 radio switch" "ThinkPad builtin bluetooth switch" and so on. It will be far more useful than making the switch type a technology-granular thing. And it will be useful for GUIs in userspace. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
