Subject: [GIT PATCH] rfkill support for r/w and r/o rfkill switches

This patch series (based on v2.6.25-rc8-mm2) has several improvements to
the rfkill class that I need for thinkpad-acpi, plus two fluff and
documentation fixes.

I'd appreciate comments, and if the patches are acceptable, that they are
sent to mainline early during the 2.6.26 merge window.  That way, I could
try for a thinkpad-acpi rfkill submission for 2.6.26 as well.

The thinkpad-acpi work that needs these patches is ready, and can be
looked at on the thinkpad-acpi git tree (devel branch):
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

Note: new thinkpads have a read-only "type any" radio switch, plus
read-write WWAN and Bluetooth radio switches.   The embedded WLAN cards
have WLAN read-write switches (that should be handled by the ipw* and iwl*
drivers).  Very old thinkpads had ACPI-based WLAN radio switches, but
thinkpad-acpi does not support those.

Shortlog:
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh (8):
      rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill states
      rfkill: fix minor typo in kernel doc
      rfkill: handle KEY_RADIO and SW_RADIO events
      rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch support
      rfkill: add read-only rfkill switch support
      rfkill: add the WWAN radio type
      rfkill: add an "any radio" switch type and functionality
      rfkill: add parameter to disable radios by default
