cfg80211/nl80211: add DFS offload flag
Add wiphy EXT_FEATURE flag to indicate that HW or driver does all DFS actions by itself. User-space functionality already implemented in hostapd using vendor-specific (QCA) OUI to advertise DFS offload support. Need to introduce generic flag to inform about DFS offload support. For devices with DFS_OFFLOAD flag set user-space will no longer need to issue CAC or do any actions in response to "radar detected" events. HW will do everything by itself and send events to user-space to indicate that CAC was started/finished, etc. Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Lebed <dlebed@quantenna.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
