What are we going to do with this patch? It would be convenient to get
hwsim support CSA as it would help working with DFS issues.

Was the issue blocking this patch the race when transmitting beacons?
IMHO we can live with that and fix it properly later. It's not the only
bug in DFS code right now ;)

csa_finished is a bool so 'true' should be used here.
