rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch support
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. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W.
