rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked state 



The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the
"kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot
turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something
off) is often forgotten.

Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and
RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may
operate).

Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request),
which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a
hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides.

Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated.  This way,
drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill
correctly one by one.

When a rfkill switch is in the RFKILL_STATE_ON, the wireless transmitter (radio

TX circuit for example) is *enabled*.  When the rfkill switch is in the

RFKILL_STATE_OFF, the wireless transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating.

When a rfkill switch is in the RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED, the wireless transmitter

RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED or RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, the wireless

transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating.



RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() can change

that state.  RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio()

will not be able to change the state and will return with a suitable error if

attempts are made to set the state to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.



RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED is used by drivers to signal that the device is

locked in the BLOCKED state by a hardwire rfkill line (typically an input pin

that, when active, forces the transmitter to be disabled) which the driver

CANNOT override.

input layer and the rfkill class.  The input layer issues *commands* to the

The only way to set a device to the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state is through

a suitable return of get_state() or through rfkill_force_state().



When a device is in the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, the only way to switch

it to a different state is through a suitable return of get_state() or through

rfkill_force_state().



If toggle_radio() is called to set a device to state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED

when that device is already at the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, it should

not return an error.  Instead, it should try to double-block the transmitter,

so that its state will change from RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED to

RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED should the hardware blocking cease.
