Commit 93bad2b757586fb153ef73b028953a8dcaccde77 entitled "b43: Fix PPC crash
in rfkill polling on unload" fixed the bug reported in Bugzilla No. 14181;
however, it introduced a new bug. Whenever the radio switch was turned off,
it was necessary to unload and reload the driver for it to recognize the
switch again.
This patch fixes both the original bug in #14181 and the bug introduced by
the previous patch. It must be stated, however, that if there is a BCM4306/3
with an rfkill switch (not yet proven), then the driver will need an
unload/reload cycle to turn the device back on.
