Subject: [PATCH 88/88] libertas: include sched.h on firmware.c

Do not assume we have our subsystem including this for us,
at least for older kernels this is not true. Lets just be
explicit about this requirement for the usage of wake_up().

Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <redacted>
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <redacted>

This is bogus, wake_up() is defined in linux/wait.h, the whole
point of the linux/sched.h split up is so that linux/sched.h
includes could be removed and replaced with actual dependencies.
This is completely my bad.  Anyway, Felix already added that include
in that file a few lines later in order to pick-up the definitions
for TASK_NORMAL and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.  I'll just drop Luis's patch.
Also, please don't accept any patches from Luis that add those
#undef pr_fmt things to the atheros drivers.

He tried to add it an ethernet driver, and I asked him to explain
exactly why he's doing and that if it's appropriate then it's
appropriate everywhere not just in a few specific drivers.  He failed
to respond to me, and therefore failed to explain the situation and
address my concerned.  And then I saw just today that he's submitting
the same patch to wireless drivers.  That's not acceptable.

Thanks.
OK.  I think the compat-wireless guys have found a different solution
anyway.
