I have to distinguish these scenarios and handle them differently: (1) user unplugs the card: As the card is unplugged, there is no way (no need) to send SHUTDOWN command. (2) user removes the libertas_sdio module manually: Since the card is still in the slot, SHUTDOWN command will be sent to firmware. When user rmmod the module, if_sdio_exit_module() is called and this flag "user_rmmod" is set to 1. When if_sdio_remove() is called this flag will be used to determine whether the SHUTDOWN command should be sent or not. I hesitated to use this global variable in such a weird way. But I couldn't think of a better solution.
