* This file declares the user/kernel protocol that is spoken over

* Stuff intended for kernel usage as well as full protocol and stack
* documentation is rooted in include/net/wimax.h.

* enum wimax_st - The different states of a WiMAX device
* @__WIMAX_ST_NULL: The device structure has been allocated and zeroed,
* but still wimax_dev_add() hasn't been called. There is no state.
* @WIMAX_ST_DOWN: The device has been registered with the WiMAX and
* networking stacks, but it is not initialized (normally that is
* done with 'ifconfig DEV up' [or equivalent], which can upload
* firmware and enable communications with the device).
* In this state, the device is powered down and using as less
* This state is the default after a call to wimax_dev_add(). It
* is ok to have drivers move directly to %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED
* or %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF in _probe() after the call to
* It is recommended that the driver leaves this state when
* calling 'ifconfig DEV up' and enters it back on 'ifconfig DEV
* @__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING: The device is being torn down, so no API
* operations are allowed to proceed except the ones needed to
* complete the device clean up process.
* @WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED: [optional] Communication with the device
* is setup, but the device still requires some configuration
* before being operational.
* Some WiMAX API calls might work.
* @WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF: The device is fully up; radio is off (wether
* by hardware or software switches).
* It is recommended to always leave the device in this state
* @WIMAX_ST_READY: The device is fully up and radio is on.
* @WIMAX_ST_SCANNING: [optional] The device has been instructed to
* scan. In this state, the device cannot be actively connected to
* @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTING: The device is connecting to a network. This
* state exists because in some devices, the connect process can
* include a number of negotiations between user space, kernel
* space and the device. User space needs to know what the device
* is doing. If the connect sequence in a device is atomic and
* fast, the device can transition directly to CONNECTED
* @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTED: The device is connected to a network.
* @__WIMAX_ST_INVALID: This is an invalid state used to mark the
* maximum numeric value of states.
* Transitions from one state to another one are atomic and can only
* be caused in kernel space with wimax_state_change(). To read the
* state, use wimax_state_get().
* States starting with __ are internal and shall not be used or
* referred to by drivers or userspace. They look ugly, but that's the
* point -- if any use is made non-internal to the stack, it is easier
* All API operations [with well defined exceptions] will take the
* device mutex before starting and then check the state. If the state
* is %__WIMAX_ST_NULL, %WIMAX_ST_DOWN, %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED or
* %__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING, it will drop the lock and quit with
* -%EINVAL, -%ENOMEDIUM, -%ENOTCONN or -%ESHUTDOWN.
* The order of the definitions is important, so we can do numerical
* comparisons (eg: < %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF means the device is not ready
* The allowed state transitions are described in the table below
* (states in rows can go to states in columns where there is an X):
* UNINI RADIO READY SCAN CONNEC CONNEC
* NULL DOWN QUIESCING TIALIZED OFF NING TING TED
* This table not available in kernel-doc because the formatting messes it up.
