7176ba23f8 net: rfkill: add generic gpio rfkill driver
This adds a new generic gpio rfkill driver to support rfkill switches
which are controlled by gpios. The driver also supports passing in
data about the clock for the radio, so that when rfkill is blocking,
it can disable the clock.

This driver assumes platform data is passed from the board files to
configure it for specific devices.

cbc6a6ed09 rfkill: Regulator consumer driver for rfkill
Add a regulator consumer driver for rfkill to enable controlling radio
transmitters connected to voltage regulators using the regulator
framework.

A new "vrfkill" virtual supply is provided to use in platform code.

19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before
