At this point selecting y does nothing. Leave this patch out until
selecting "y" means something.

Default should be n, and in particular Atheros itself can only likely
commit to supporting DFS for AR9003 when it finds resources to do so
as well as properly test it, so DFS support kconfig should state this.
If someone wants to step up to completely support all bugs for older
families that is their prerogative but we cannot commit to it, due to
the regulatory considerations though unless this happens this cannot
and should not be enabled for older families in code.
