I can add that to the commit log.

Looking at the functions ath_is_rfkill_set() and ath9k_rfkill_poll_state() in gpio.c, this issue causes wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() always to be passed false when ah->rfkill_polarity==1, breaking rfkill. I don't know how common devices with ah->rfkill_polarity==1 are. I became aware of this issue when rebasing an out-of-tree patch in LEDE which uses the WMAC GPIOs to configure some kind of bandpass filter found in Ubiquiti hardware. (I hope to find time to get this patch upsteam at some point...) Matthias

That way maintainers, like me or stable tree folks, can prioritise the fix to various releases. And I guess Linux distros also like to know this as well as some of the normal users when trying to solve problems. I'll mention in the commit log that this doesn't fix any known bug. And I'll push this to 4.10, I don't think this is important enough for 4.9.

Commit b2d70d4944c1 ("ath9k: make GPIO API to support both of WMAC and SOC") refactored ath9k_hw_gpio_get() to support both WMAC and SOC GPIOs, changing the return on success from 1 to BIT(gpio). This broke some callers like ath_is_rfkill_set(). Instead of fixing all callers, change ath9k_hw_gpio_get() back to only return 0 or 1.
