PATCH 1/2 brcmfmac: prohibit ACPI power management for brcmfmac driver

ACPI will manage WiFi chip's power state during suspend/resume process on some tablet platforms(such as ASUS T100TA). This is not supported by brcmfmac driver now, and the context of WiFi chip will be damaged after resume. This patch disconnects the relationship between WiFi chip and it's ACPI companion, and prohibit ACPI PM for it.

Nice. However, ACPI may contain configuration data that brcmfmac needs on some platforms and Adrian Hunter is looking into this. So it is probably better to do this operation at the end of the probe before returning successful.

Your comment is right. I introduced another implementation in new patch - "[PATCH v2] brcmfmac: prohibit ACPI power management for brcmfmac driver".

Thanks,
