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.

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).

SW_RFKILL_ALL is the "emergency power-off all radios" input event. It must
be handled, and must always do the same thing as far as the rfkill system
is concerned: all transmitters are to go *immediately* offline.
For safety, do NOT allow userspace to override EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF. As
long as rfkill-input is loaded, that event will *always* be processed, and
it will *always* force all rfkill switches to disable all wireless
transmitters, regardless of user_claim attribute or anything else.

Use the notification chains to also send uevents, so that userspace can be
notified of state changes of every rfkill switch.
Userspace should use these events for OSD/status report applications and
rfkill GUI frontends. HAL might want to broadcast them over DBUS, for
example. It might be also useful for userspace implementations of
rfkill-input, or to use HAL as the platform driver which promotes rfkill
switch change events into input events (to synchronize all other switches)
when necessary for platforms that lack a convenient platform-specific
kernel module to do it.

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.

The resume handler should reset the wireless transmitter rfkill
state to exactly what it was when the system was suspended. Do it,
and do it using the normal routines for state change while at it.
The suspend handler should force-switch the transmitter to blocked
state, ignoring caches. Do it.
Also take an opportunity shot to rfkill_remove_switch() and also
force the transmitter to blocked state there, bypassing caches.

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.

Currently, radios are always enabled when their rfkill interface is
registered. This is not optimal, the safest state for a radio is to be
offline unless the user turns it on.
Add a module parameter that causes all radios to be disabled when their
rfkill interface is registered. The module default is not changed so
unless the parameter is used, radios will still be forced to their enabled
state when they are registered.
The new rfkill module parameter is called "default_state".

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).
