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

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

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com>

commit 788f7a56fce1bcb2067b62b851a086fca48a0056 upstream.

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.

Resolve:
