2008-06-26rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked stateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
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.

2008-06-26rfkill: add notifier chains supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
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.

2008-06-26rfkill: add the WWAN radio typeHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
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.

2008-06-26rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
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.

2008-06-26rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill statesHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
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).

2008-01-31rfkill: add the WiMAX radio typeIñaky Pérez-González
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.

2007-10-10[RFKILL]: Remove IRDAIvo van Doorn
As Dmitry pointed out earlier, rfkill-input.c doesn't support irda because there are no users and we shouldn't add unrequired KEY_ defines. However, RFKILL_TYPE_IRDA was defined in the rfkill.h header file and would confuse people about whether it is implemented or not. This patch removes IRDA support completely, so it can be added whenever a driver wants the feature. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
