This initial DFS module provides basic functionality to deal with radar
pulses reported by the DFS HW pattern detector.
It is based on Atheros proprietary driver sources with the core
functionality ported to ath9k to inspect pulse data and perform
plausibility checks to filter false pulses.
The numerous TODOs left include
* checks for chirping pulses
* differentiation between different chipsets
* support for configuring the DFS HW
* etc.
The output of this module are radar events ready to be feed to a
pattern detection module.
