From: Roland Vossen <rvossen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
If there is a problem with the firmware load (eg, firmware not present in
/lib/firmware/brcm), then the driver would dump its stack instead of bailing
out gracefully. Root cause was an uninitialized variable (wl->pub) being
dereferenced in the rfkill portion of a cleanup routine (wl_remove). Fix was
to move the rfkill calls into the correct spot in wl_remove().
