associated with. Without this restriction, strong signals belonging to other

As reported by Modestas Vainius, enabling rkfill in 1 driver and
disabling it in a second could cause a NULL pointer exception when
the rfkill-disabled driver still sets the CONFIG_SUPPORT_HW_BUTTON flag.
Furthermore, rfkill expects the timeout as a value in milliseconds
instead of jiffies. Also increase the timeout to a second,
since this 250ms would be overkill.
Also the flag DEVICE_ENABLED_RADIO_HW is causing problems
for devices which do not support the hardware button
while rfkill is enabled in the driver.
To remidy this we should inverse the flag and its meaning,
rename the flag to DEVICE_DISABLED_RADIO_HW this means that
by default the radio is enabled by the hardware button (if present)

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.
This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.
Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.
At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().
The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.
Driver modifications by Johannes Berg (b43 & iwlwifi), Michael Wu
(rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and
