I found a problem with this patch. When I issue an 'rfkill block 1'
command, I get the following circular locking warning:


=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc6-wl #201
-------------------------------------------------------
rfkill/30578 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&priv->work)->work#2){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81051215>]
__cancel_work_timer+0xd9/0x222

but task is already holding lock:
 (&priv->conf_mutex#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa064a024>]
rtl8187_stop+0x31/0x364 [rtl8187]

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:
