rfkill: add parameter to disable radios by default
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. The module default is not changed so unless the parameter is used, radios will still be forced to their enabled state when they are registered. The new rfkill module parameter is called "default_state". Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
