That's why I suggested Lorenzo to add this one - "[6/6] mt76: mt7615:
add radar pattern test knob to debugfs"

We can feed radar pattern through debugfs to test if a pattern is
detected as radar pattern or not and verify the fw radar detection
algorithm.

In this format:
RadarPulsePattern="3680128-2-245;3683878-2-245;3687628-2-245;3691378-2-245;3695128-2-245;3698878-2-245;3702628-2-245;3706378-2-245;3710128-2-245;3713878-2-245"

As for testing it on 'real hardware' I need to take some other time to
borrow equipment.
