That's really an implementation detail inside the firmware and from ath10k point of view we don't care what checks the firmware has, we just provide all the necessary information. The checks in firmware might even change in later releases. > I ask (like Peter, we work together) because we've had to tweak this > behaviour a little to actually pass FCC / ETSI DFS certification.

This shouldn't cause more false detections, the pattern detection from ath.ko is still used as before. The firmware will just disable DFS altogether if it thinks ath10k is not compliant. -- Kalle Valo
