  Comments:
It's not at all part of the etymology of the term. It was added as a written form much later and is only used in a minute proportion of cases.

  Comments:
Why is 宜敷く marked as ateji? 敷く means "to spread out", and if 宜 means "best regards", that would make perfect sense.

  Comments:
Trimming (no need to say "ateji" twice.) Could be shorter.

"不良、ヤンキー用語の一つ。口頭ではなく文字で表記される。 
英語の「Good morning!」に相当する。 
http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/夜露死�
%8B%A6
かつての暴走族ではこのようにコテコテした漢字の当て字文化があ
り、暴走族の通り道になっているような通りでは「夜露死苦」「愛死
天流(あいしてる)」などの落書きも見受けられた。 
このことから、ヤンキーやDQNを揶揄したりパロディ化するときのネ
タとしても使われる"
(not sure how reliable)

"「よろしく」という言葉に威圧感のある漢字を当てはめた当て字。
1970年代~80年代に暴走族やヤンキーの間で広まった。「喧嘩上等」
「唯我独尊」などの文句と並んで使われる。たまに「呂」「四」など
の漢字が使われたり、レディースの場合「夜露死紅」と書かれたりも
する。"

Splitting out of 宜しく.
Nicopedia says "70's and 80's" but I can't find anything 
reliable to go on... and I think it has a very 80's/early 
90's feel to it (I could be wrong).
