The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.
Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.
This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.
In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

Almost all drivers do not support user_claim, so remove it
completely and always report -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. Since
userspace cannot really drive rfkill _anyway_ (due to the
odd restrictions imposed by the documentation) having this
code is just pointless.

The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.
This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
previous state of the transmitter was being lost.
The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
that on resume.

While it is interesting to not add last-enum-markers because it allows gcc
to warn us of switch() statements missing a valid state, we really should
be handling memory corruption on a rfkill state with default clauses,
anyway.
So add RFKILL_STATE_MAX and use it where applicable. It makes for safer
code in the long run.

rfkill is not a small, mere detail in wireless support. Once it starts
supporting rfkill and users start counting on that support, a wireless
device is at risk of operating in dangerous conditions should rfkill
support fail to properly activate.
Therefore, add the required __must_check annotations on some key functions
of the rfkill API, for which the wireless drivers absolutely MUST handle
the failure mode safely in order to avoid a potentially dangerous situation
where the wireless transmitter is left enabled when the user don't want it
to.

Add a second set of global states, "rfkill_default_states", to track the
state that will be used when the first rfkill class of a given type is
registered, and also to save "undo" information when rfkill_epo is called.
Add a new exported function, rfkill_set_default(), which can be used by
platform drivers to restore radio state saved by the platform across
reboots or shutdown.
Also, fix rfkill_epo to properly update rfkill_states, but still preserve a
copy of the state so that we can undo the effect of rfkill_epo later if we
want to. Add rfkill_restore_states() to restore rfkill_states from the
copy.

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.

Add a notifier chain for use by the rfkill class. This notifier chain
signals the following events (more to be added when needed):
1. rfkill: rfkill device state has changed
A pointer to the rfkill struct will be passed as a parameter.
The notifier message types have been added to include/linux/rfkill.h
instead of to include/linux/notifier.h in order to avoid the madness of
modifying a header used globally (and that triggers an almost full tree
rebuild every time it is touched) with information that is of interest only
to code that includes the rfkill.h header.

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.

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.

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).

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.
