Turns out that util-linux allows ‘wifi’ as a special alias for 
‘wlan’:

 // only result for ‘grep -riw wifi’:
 static const struct rfkill_type_str rfkill_type_strings[] = {
   { .type = RFKILL_TYPE_ALL,       .name = "all"  },
   { .type = RFKILL_TYPE_WLAN,      .name = "wlan",
     .desc = "Wireless LAN" },
   { .type = RFKILL_TYPE_WLAN,      .name = "wifi" }, /* alias */

…so we could drop connman-rfkill-types completely and rely on that 
(undocumented!) quirk.

Of course I don't believe we should, but now you know as much as I 
do :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
