Yep, this function is called right after power on, and we have to copy mac
address back to hardware (in case it was changed).

I changed cmd to be sync to be sure that there's no host<->card activity
during power down. Otherwise this command timedout.

Moved it to avoid forward declatation.

I'm pretty sure that iface open/close (up/down?) is protected with mutex. So
why bother here?

It does nothing if mesh is not enabled in config.

In this place there's no iface yet (we're still in probe callback of driver).
lbs_power_on/lbs_power_off are called only on iface up/down and in
suspend/resume handlers (at least, for now), so we can't get race condition
here.

Unfortunately there's no datasheet on libertas chip. And looks like there was
no WOL support in driver, so why keep it enabled?
Thanks for review!
