[197/251] iwl4965: reset firmware after rfkill off

[Steven Rostedt]

3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 788f7a56fce1bcb2067b62b851a086fca48a0056 ]

Using rfkill switch can make firmware unstable, what cause various
Microcode errors and kernel warnings. Reseting firmware just after
rfkill off (radio on) helped with that.
