Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: make rfkill configurable
Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 20:55:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372877738-10037-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
When the platform doesn't have rfkill support, i.e. nothing
is connected to the rfkill GPIO, there's little value in
polling the GPIO. Add a Kconfig option to allow disabling
the polling in ath9k.
