That requires one to actually KNOW the details of the relevant parts of the
kernel.  In this case, the particular needs of several devices and their
device drivers.

Which I don't, for many of them.

Those I know enough to be 100% certain that do not need it (or actually
REQUIRE it not to happen, like libertas) have not been added to the CC.
There were none I could be 100% certain that would need the toggle_radio
call (if there were, they would have been fixed by the patch as well).

For all the others that I am not sure of, I CC'd the maintainers.  If any of
them reply indicating that they need the explicit toggle_radio() call, we
can add such changes to the patch (or in a future patch).  I consider this
equivalent to emailing everyone and asking about it.
