Thanks for the review.

I will follow Your suggestions in case we decided to take the approach of 
DFS handling done in userspace (we most probably will not).

FYI, TS and width are the attributes of radar pulse events that a DFS pattern 
detector is fed with. In fact, the width is inaccurate (e.g. with Atheros 
chipsets) for most test patterns, so you basically have a series of time 
stamps to do the pattern matching.
