Drivers are not *supposed* to be doing this, the hardware flags are supposed to be constant hardware description flags. The three drivers clearing this specific but currently work OK due to the way this particular flag is treated, but that wouldn't necessarily the case for all of the flags; adding a _clear() function would seem to imply that it's OK to do this, when it's really not. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
