+/**
+ * enum wimax_st - The different states of a WiMAX device
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_NULL: The device structure has been allocated and zeroed,
+ * but still wimax_dev_add() hasn't been called. There is no state.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_DOWN: The device has been registered with the WiMAX and
+ * networking stacks, but it is not initialized (normally that is
+ * done with 'ifconfig DEV up' [or equivalent], which can upload
+ * firmware and enable communications with the device).
+ * In this state, the device is powered down and using as less
+ * power as possible.
+ * This state is the default after a call to wimax_dev_add(). It
+ * is ok to have drivers move directly to %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED
+ * or %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF in _probe() after the call to
+ * wimax_dev_add().
+ * It is recommended that the driver leaves this state when
+ * calling 'ifconfig DEV up' and enters it back on 'ifconfig DEV
+ * down'.
+ *
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING: The device is being torn down, so no API
+ * operations are allowed to proceed except the ones needed to
+ * complete the device clean up process.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED: [optional] Communication with the device
+ * is setup, but the device still requires some configuration
+ * before being operational.
+ * Some WiMAX API calls might work.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF: The device is fully up; radio is off (wether
+ * by hardware or software switches).
+ * It is recommended to always leave the device in this state
+ * after initialization.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_READY: The device is fully up and radio is on.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_SCANNING: [optional] The device has been instructed to
+ * scan. In this state, the device cannot be actively connected to
+ * a network.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTING: The device is connecting to a network. This
+ * state exists because in some devices, the connect process can
+ * include a number of negotiations between user space, kernel
+ * space and the device. User space needs to know what the device
+ * is doing. If the connect sequence in a device is atomic and
+ * fast, the device can transition directly to CONNECTED
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTED: The device is connected to a network.
+ *
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_INVALID: This is an invalid state used to mark the
+ * maximum numeric value of states.
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *
+ * Transitions from one state to another one are atomic and can only
+ * be caused in kernel space with wimax_state_change(). To read the
+ * state, use wimax_state_get().
+ *
+ * States starting with __ are internal and shall not be used or
+ * referred to by drivers or userspace. They look ugly, but that's the
+ * point -- if any use is made non-internal to the stack, it is easier
+ * to catch on review.
+ *
+ * All API operations [with well defined exceptions] will take the
+ * device mutex before starting and then check the state. If the state
+ * is %__WIMAX_ST_NULL, %WIMAX_ST_DOWN, %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED or
+ * %__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING, it will drop the lock and quit with
+ * -%EINVAL, -%ENOMEDIUM, -%ENOTCONN or -%ESHUTDOWN.
+ *
+ * The order of the definitions is important, so we can do numerical
+ * comparisons (eg: < %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF means the device is not ready
+ * to operate).
+ */
+/*
+ * The allowed state transitions are described in the table below
+ * (states in rows can go to states in columns where there is an X):
+ *
+ * UNINI RADIO READY SCAN CONNEC CONNEC
+ * NULL DOWN QUIESCING TIALIZED OFF NING TING TED
+ * NULL - x
+ * DOWN - x x x
+ * QUIESCING x -
+ * UNINITIALIZED x - x
