cover wimax: Kbuild / rfkill-build fixes (v2)

These three patches fix issues reported by Randy Dunlap on the linux-next tree for Jan 6:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/6/340

The issue fixed by patch #3 wasn't reported on the emails but was uncovered while discussing the fixes.

This applies to the wimax tree kept in gregkh's repository:

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-04-usb/

Changes in v2

- fixed silly one-char typo #ifndef CONFIG_BUG vs #ifdef CONFIG_BUG reported by Ilpo Järvinen

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez (3):
wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning
wimax: fix kconfig interactions with rfkill and input layers
wimax: testing for rfkill support should also test for
CONFIG_RFKILL_MODULE

PATCH 1/3 wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning

Reported by Randy Dunlap:

Quoted 4 lines

Also, this warning needs to be fixed:

linux-next-20090106/net/wimax/id-table.c:133: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code

Move the return on #defined(CONFIG_BUG) below the variable declarations so it doesn't violate ISO C90.

On wimax_id_table_release() we want to do a debug check if CONFIG_BUG is enabled. However, we also want the debug code to be always compiled to ensure there is no bitrot. It will be optimized out by the compiler when CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Added a note to the function header stating this.

PATCH 2/3 wimax: fix kconfig interactions with rfkill and input layers

In reply to Inaky Perez-Gonzalez

WiMAX can work without RFKILL, but it was missing a check to make sure RFKILL is not being made a module with wimax compiled into the kernel. This caused failed builds in s390, where CONFIG_INPUT is always off.

When RFKILL is enabled, the code uses the input layer to report hardware switch changes; thus, if RFKILL is enabled, INPUT has to be too. It also needs to display some message when INPUT is disabled that explains why WiMAX is not selectable.

(issues found by Randy Dunlap in the linux-next tree).

PATCH 3/3 wimax: testing for rfkill support should also test for CONFIG_RFKILL_MODULE

In reply to Inaky Perez-Gonzalez

Current WiMAX rfkill code is missing the case where rfkill is compiled in as modules and works only when rfkill is compiled in. This is not correct. Fixed to test for CONFIG_RFKILL or CONFIG_RKILL_MODULE.
