Kernel rfkill interface changes in 5.11 requiring userspace fixes

Platform
1

Hi,

as this appears to be causing issues, just a heads up that Linux 5.11
extended the rfkill interface. Unfortunately plenty of applications
were not implementing the API as expected and needed to be updated.

In particular:

Please make sure that corresponding fixes are applied before updating
the kernel version.

There are some follow up fixes in gnome-settings-daemon, but I believe
that these should not be needed as g-s-d ships an old copy of rfkill.h:
rfkill: Fix rfkill event read length check (!234) · Merge requests · GNOME / gnome-settings-daemon · GitLab

It looks like gnome-settings-daemon 40.0.1 contains the needed fix but bluez does not have in in Git yet, just patchwork.
