/**
 * 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
 *     power as possible.
 *     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
 *     wimax_dev_add().
 *     It is recommended that the driver leaves this state when
 *     calling 'ifconfig DEV up' and enters it back on 'ifconfig DEV
 *     down'.
 *
 * @__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
 *     after initialization.
 *
 * @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
 *     a network.
 *
 * @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.
 *
 * Description:
 *
 * 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
 * to catch on review.
 *
 * 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
 * to operate).
 */

 * The allowed state transitions are described in the table below
