[PATCH RFC] brcmfmac: shutdown interfaces on PSM's watchdog fire

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

When PSM's watchdog fires hardware / firmware is not operational. It
seems there isn't a way to restart firmware & reapply all settings so
instead shut all interfaces down. This is at least some signal for the
user things went wrong and allows reacting to it.

This patch is RFC as I'm wondering if there is any other way to handle
such errors. I couldn't find anything except for that
cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces.

Unfortunately hostapd doesn't seem to react to this except for sth like:
Fri Feb 24 13:41:07 2017 daemon.notice hostapd: wlan0: INTERFACE-DISABLED

Shall we introduce some nl80211 even for such cases maybe?

Or maybe I'm totally wrong and there is some simple way for a driver to
request reconfiguration of all interfaces?

I guess I should have put linux-wireless in To. Normally I put you,
but since it's RFC, I left it empty and it went like this.

Anyway I believe it still reached linux-wireless. So any comments on this? =
