" b43: Fix rfkill radio LED
This fixes Bug #9414
Since addition of the rfkill callback, the LED associated with the off
switch on the radio has not worked for several reasons:
(1) Essential data in the rfkill structure were missing.
(2) The rfkill structure was initialized after the LED initialization.
(3) There was a minor memory leak if the radio LED structure was inited.
Once the above problems were fixed, additional difficulties were noted:
(4) The radio LED was in the wrong state at startup.
(5) The radio switch had to be manipulated twice for each state change.
(6) A circular mutex locking situation existed.
(7) If rfkill-input is built as a module, it is not automatically loaded.
This patch fixes all of the above."
