[PATCH 8/8] rfkill: add parameter to disable radios by default

From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Date: Fri Apr 11 2008 - 16:39:40 EST


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. Add override parameters for each rfkill
switch type as well, just in case the user wants the defaults to be
different for a given radio type.

We don't change the module default, but I'd really recommed doing so in a
future patch.

The parameters are called "default_state" (global), and
"default_<type>_state", where <type> is: "wlan", "bluetooth", "uwb",
"wimax", or "any". Note that "any" realy is a type and does not mean every
radio type (use the global "default_state" parameter for that.

The precedence order is "most specific first".
