[patch 06/23] [PATCH] Generic HDLC WAN drivers - disable netif_carrier_off()

[Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>]

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

As we are currently unable to fix the problem with carrier and protocol
state signaling in net core I've to disable netif_carrier_off() calls
used by WAN protocol drivers. The attached patch should make them
working again.

The remaining netif_carrier_*() calls in hdlc_fr.c are fine as they
don't touch the physical device.
