Bug Description
Tested silo-046 ( hotspot support ) on krillin ( stable, #23 ).
Note, I installed the indicator and system-settings directly from the PPA. I also had installed a new version of ofono from a silo which contained minor fixes for voicemail indications and MMS, so should have no effect.
First, hotspot requires WiFi to be enabled, which is contrary to how hotspot works on other OSes ( iOS8, Android5 ).
So I enabled WiFi, then "forgot" the current AP via WiFi settings.
Next I enabled hotspot. While checking on a couple of devices for the hotspot SSID to appear, I noticed that the hotspot toggle switch had automatically changed back to disabled.
Note, to rule out powerd, I ran the test with the phone 'Lock phone' setting to 10m.

I re-flashed #24 from the stable channel on my krillin and re-tested. I'm no longer seeing the original problem. I will keep this in Incomplete state for now, and see if I can get it to happen again.
Note, I manually installed the packages from the silo, as 'citrain device-upgrade' causes the phone to pick up any package updates from the overlay PPA in addition to the silo.
