Well, luckily we do take the rtnl already, wiphy_suspend() and _resume()
do that around the cfg ops.

IMHO a suspended flag would be extra complexity that we should just
hold off on until the freezer really is getting removed.

For now is there anything besides driver support we need to do for this
patchset?  I guess that the drivers will actually be OK as-is too unless
there are any that do release_firmware in ->stop(), but it will be nice
to clean them up.
