Well, luckily we do take the rtnl already, wiphy_suspend() and _resume() do that around the cfg ops. IMHO a suspended flag would be extra complexity that we should just hold off on until the freezer really is getting removed. For now is there anything besides driver support we need to do for this patchset? I guess that the drivers will actually be OK as-is too unless there are any that do release_firmware in ->stop(), but it will be nice to clean them up. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
