Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 71f78afd67 wimax: fix kconfig interactions with rfkill and input layers
WiMAX can work without RFKILL, but it was missing a check to make sure
RFKILL is not being made a module with wimax compiled into the
kernel. This caused failed builds in s390, where CONFIG_INPUT is
always off.

When RFKILL is enabled, the code uses the input layer to report
hardware switch changes; thus, if RFKILL is enabled, INPUT has to be
too. It also needs to display some message when INPUT is disabled that
explains why WiMAX is not selectable.

(issues found by Randy Dunlap in the linux-next tree).

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez d48e470f76 wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning
Reported by Randy Dunlap:

> Also, this warning needs to be fixed:

> linux-next-20090106/net/wimax/id-table.c:133: warning: ISO C90
> forbids mixed declarations and code

Move the return on #defined(CONFIG_BUG) below the variable
declarations so it doesn't violate ISO C90.

On wimax_id_table_release() we want to do a debug check if CONFIG_BUG
is enabled. However, we also want the debug code to be always compiled
to ensure there is no bitrot. It will be optimized out by the compiler
when CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Added a note to the function header stating this.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez b0c83ae1de wimax: Makefile, Kconfig and docbook linkage for the stack
This patch provides Makefile and KConfig for the WiMAX stack,
integrating them into the networking stack's Makefile, Kconfig and
doc-book templates.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 3e65646bb1 wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset
Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
interface to WiMAX devices:

- Messaging channel between user space and driver/device

  This implements a direct communication channel between user space
  and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
  and forth.

  This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.

- RF-kill framework integration

  Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
  all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
  wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
  time it changes.

  Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
  RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
  status.

  Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.

- Reset a WiMAX device

  Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
  needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.

This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way.  The
WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
discovered and provisioned.

The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
layer should be.

The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 15530dfd33 wimax: generic device management (registration, deregistration, lookup)
Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common
generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space,
and the device state machine.

For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of
WiMAX adaptors.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez ea912f4e7f wimax: debug macros and debug settings for the WiMAX stack
This file contains a simple debug framework that is used in the stack;
it allows the debug level to be controlled at compile-time (so the
debug code is optimized out) and at run-time (for what wasn't compiled
out).

This is eventually going to be moved to use dynamic_printk(). Just
need to find time to do it.
