wimax/i2400m: cleanup initialization/destruction flow
Currently the i2400m driver was starting in a weird way: registering a
network device, setting the device up and then registering a WiMAX
device.
This is an historic artifact, and was causing issues, a some early
reports the device sends were getting lost by issue of the wimax_dev
not being registered.
Fix said situation by doing the wimax device registration in
i2400m_setup() after network device registration and before starting
thed device.
As well, removed spurious setting of the state to UNINITIALIZED;
i2400m.dev_start() does that already.
