477576a073 rfkill: add the WWAN radio type
Unfortunately, instead of adding a generic Wireless WAN type, a technology-
specific type (WiMAX) was added.  That's useless for other WWAN devices,
such as EDGE, UMTS, X-RTT and other such radios.

Add a WWAN rfkill type for generic wireless WAN devices.  No keys are added
as most devices really want to use KEY_WLAN for WWAN control (in a cycle of
none, WLAN, WWAN, WLAN+WWAN) and need no specific keycode added.

801e49af4c rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch support
Currently, rfkill support for read/write rfkill switches is hacked through
a round-trip over the input layer and rfkill-input to let a driver sync
rfkill->state to hardware changes.

This is buggy and sub-optimal.  It causes real problems.  It is best to
think of the rfkill class as supporting only write-only switches at the
moment.

In order to implement the read/write functionality properly:

Add a get_state() hook that is called by the class every time it needs to
fetch the current state of the switch.  Add a call to this hook every time
the *current* state of the radio plays a role in a decision.

Also add a force_state() method that can be used to forcefully syncronize
the class' idea of the current state of the switch.  This allows for a
faster implementation of the read/write functionality, as a driver which
get events on switch changes can avoid the need for a get_state() hook.

If the get_state() hook is left as NULL, current behaviour is maintained,
so this change is fully backwards compatible with the current rfkill
drivers.

For hardware that issues events when the rfkill state changes, leave
get_state() NULL in the rfkill struct, set the initial state properly
before registering with the rfkill class, and use the force_state() method
in the driver to keep the rfkill interface up-to-date.

get_state() can be called by the class from atomic context. It must not
sleep.

f3146aff7f rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill states
rfkill really should have been named rfswitch.  As it is, one can get
confused whether RFKILL_STATE_ON means the KILL switch is on (and
therefore, the radio is being *blocked* from operating), or whether it
means the RADIO rf output is on.

Clearly state that RFKILL_STATE_ON means the radio is *unblocked* from
operating (i.e. there is no rf killing going on).

303d9bf6bb rfkill: add the WiMAX radio type
Teach rfkill about wimax radios.

Had to define a KEY_WIMAX as a 'key for disabling only wimax radios',
as other radio technologies have. This makes sense as hardware has
specific keys for disabling specific radios.

The RFKILL enabling part is, otherwise, a copy and paste of any other
radio technology.

20405c0841 [RFKILL]: Add support for hardware-only rfkill buttons
Buttons that work directly on hardware cannot support
the "user_claim" functionality. Add a flag to signal
this and return -EOPNOTSUPP in this case.
b43 is such a device.

fe242cfd33 [RFKILL]: Move rfkill_switch_all out of global header
rfkill_switch_all shouldn't be called by drivers directly,
instead they should send a signal over the input device.

To prevent confusion for driver developers, move the
function into a rfkill private header.

234a0ca6f1 [RFKILL]: Remove IRDA
As Dmitry pointed out earlier, rfkill-input.c
doesn't support irda because there are no users
and we shouldn't add unrequired KEY_ defines.

However, RFKILL_TYPE_IRDA was defined in the
rfkill.h header file and would confuse people
about whether it is implemented or not.

This patch removes IRDA support completely,
so it can be added whenever a driver wants the
feature.
