Do we need check dfs_region in cfg80211_can_beacon() at all?
We already check first if all channels NL80211_DFS_AVAILABLE.
To be DFS_AVAILABLE we need pass CAC, and we will fail CAC if
dfs_region == UNSET.

Anyway we can do something like this in cfg80211_can_beacon()

        if (cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required(wiphy, chandef) > 0 &&
-           cfg80211_chandef_dfs_available(wiphy, chandef)) {
+           cfg80211_chandef_dfs_available(wiphy, chandef) &&
+           reg_get_dfs_region(wiphy) != NL80211_DFS_UNSET) {
...
And change doc that cfg80211_can_beacon() require rtnl_lock.
But I think this is not required.
