    mac80211: add hardware restart function · f2753ddb
    Johannes Berg authored
    Some hardware defects may require the hardware to be re-initialised
    completely from scratch. Drivers would need much information (for
    instance the current MAC address, crypto keys, beaconing information,
    etc.) stored duplicated from mac80211 to be able to do this, so let
    mac80211 help them.
    
    The new ieee80211_restart_hw() function requires the same code as
    resuming, so move that code into a new ieee80211_reconfig() function
    in util.c and leave only the suspend code in pm.c.
