I looked for it and I couldn't find it. Please could you point me at the
commit in which it was removed? I'm not entirely sure it ever made it
into our driver. Certainly it never made it into the upstream driver,
and the upstream driver is all that really matters, in the long term.

It uses CMD_802_11_RADIO_CONTROL with the RADIO_OFF argument, which I
believe is the correct thing to do.
