[PATCH] rfkill: Add support for hardware-only rfkill buttons

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Buttons that work directly on hardware cannot support
the "user_claim" functionality. Add a flag to signal
this and return -EOPNOTSUPP in this case.
b43 is such a device.
