The current bcm43xx driver ignores any wireless-enable switches on mini-PCI
and mini-PCI-E cards. This patch implements a new routine to interrogate the
radio hardware enabled bit in the interface, logs the initial state and any
changes in the switch (if debugging enabled), activates the LED to show the
state, and changes the periodic work handler to provide 1 second response
to switch changes and to account for changes in the periodic work specs.

The bcm43xx driver uses 4 locations in the devices sprom to determine
the behavior of the leds. Certain defaults are assigned if all bits are
set in those locations. On at least one BCM4303 chip, the sprom contains
values other than the default, which executes an assertion placed in the
default case of a following switch statement. This patch makes the leds
on the above mentioned interface behave correctly. In addition, it limits
the number of logged messages to 20 for the case of unexpected values in
the sprom locations.

As many people don't seem to like the locking "obfuscation"
in the bcm43xx driver, this patch removes it.

This is the starting point to make the driver out-of-order-MMIO-stores safe.
There are more mmiowb() needed.
