Henrique de Moraes Holschuh bed7aac941 rfkill: remove transmitter blocking on suspend
Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless
devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation
when they receive a special wireless message.  It would also get in the way
of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform
suspend.

To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class
suspend handler.

Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by
themselves in their own suspend handling.

Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on
resume in any situation.  This happens after the driver's resume method is
called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are
attached to have been resumed).

The following drivers need to check if they need to explicitly block
their transmitters in their own suspend handlers (maintainers Cc'd):
	arch/arm/mach-pxa/tosa-bt.c
	drivers/net/usb/hso.c
	drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/* (USB might need it?)
	drivers/net/wireless/b43/ (SSB over USB might need it?)
	drivers/misc/hp-wmi.c
	eeepc-laptop w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet)
	Compal laptop w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet)
	toshiba-acpi w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet)

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 2fd9b2212e rfkill: document rfkill_force_state as required (v2)
While the rfkill class does work with just get_state(), it doesn't work
well on devices that are subject to external events that cause rfkill state
changes.

Document that rfkill_force_state() is required in those cases.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh f7983f7301 rfkill: improve documentation for kernel drivers
Improve the documentation of how to use the rfkill class in kernel drivers,
based on the doubts that came up in a thread in linux-wireless.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 5005657cbd rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked state
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the
"kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot
turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something
off) is often forgotten.

Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and
RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may
operate).

Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request),
which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a
hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides.

Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated.  This way,
drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill
correctly one by one.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh dc288520a2 rfkill: document rw rfkill switches and clarify input subsystem interactions
Rework the documentation so as to make sure driver writers understand
exactly where the boundaries are for input drivers related to rfkill
switches, buttons and keys, and rfkill class drivers.

Also fix a small error in the documentation: setting the state of a normal
instance of the rfkill class does not affect the state of any other devices
(unless they are tied by firmware/hardware somehow).

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 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).
