Subject: [PATCHv2] iwlagn: fix hw-rfkill while the interface is down

Currently iwlagn is not able to report hw-killswitch events while the
interface is down. This has implications on user space tools (like
NetworkManager) relying on rfkill notifications to bring the interface
up once the wireless gets enabled through a hw killswitch.

Thus, enable the device already in iwl_pci_probe instead of iwl_up
and enable interrups while the interface is down in order to get
notified about killswitch state changes. The firmware loading is still
done in iwl_up.

That's the same patch as for 3945 I sent last week, but instead of polling
the killswitch state, we can use interrupts for iwlagn.

I did not do any power measurements but I think it is more efficient to
leave the pci device enabled (without firmware being loaded) then to change
NetworkManagers behaviour to keep the interface up all the time just to get
rfkill notifications (which means the firmware has to be loaded).

Changes since the first version:
- Rebased to current wireless-testing
- Minor cleanups

Is this test necessary? If the intention is to get rfkill state updates
when interface is down (and ucode is thus not loaded, and STATUS_ALIVE
thus not set) then this test is not necessary.

This ties in with the question above. Above the work is scheduled when
STATUS_ALIVE is not set ... having this test here encourages me to think
that the above test for STATUS_ALIVE is not necessary.

The rest of the patch looks good.

Thank you very much

You sure studied the rfkill code :)

You're sort of right :), we could indeed skip this check here.
But if the ucode is loaded (and thus STATUS_ALIVE is set) we will get
rfkill-notifications through iwl_rx_card_state_notif. Hence, we can simply
ignore the interrupt here and thus won't queue the rfkill-work twice.

The main reason why iwl_bg_rf_kill is queued is the call to
iwl_rfkill_set_hw_state (uses rfkill_force_state to update the rfkill state)
which may not be called from atomic context.

Thanks for the review,
