In this series we include the following fixes targeting 2.6.32:
1/17 prevents a potential null pointer exception if a particular error
path is hit during module probe
2/17 and 3/17 combine to address a serious problem with powersaving. We
have discovered that when the interface is downed the device keeps
consuming peak power. This is because in these cases the power saving state
is just reset based on a (wrong) assumption that the interface will be
brought back up shortly. Patch 2/17 ensures that the power initialization
is done correctly for 3945 to be able to accomodate initialization after a
complete stop while patch 3/17 tells the device to stop when interface goes
down.

Patch 2/17 is provided in two versions, one that applies cleanly on
wireless-testing and another that applies cleanly on v2.6.32.

The rest of the series is mostly cleanup. We do have some additions to the
channel switch API.
