Yes.

If we need type-specific switches (and NOT buttons/hot keys) for, e.g.,
Bluetooth, the correct thing to do is to add EV_SW SW_BLUETOOTH.  The
same goes for WWAN, UWB, etc.  But on laptops (which are the devices I
am dealing with), these switches (when they exist) are meant to block
*every* builtin radio and thus are not type-specific.

I can easily see someone designing a gadget with type-specific switches,
but since nobody asked for such support yet, we don't have anything but
SW_RADIO defined in the input layer right now.

So EV_SW SW_RADIO has "every radio" semanthics, just like KEY_RADIO.
