If it does return NULL, then we'll be dereferencing a NULL pointer in the rfkill_alloc() call where we do 'system_id->driver_data' --> KABOOM! Avoid that problem by testing for a NULL return value from dmi_first_match() and bailing out if it fails. I was a bit uncertain about what to return in the failure case. In the end I settled for -ENXIO as the most logical error to return.
