This patch integrates the DFS module into ath9k, including

  * defining HW capability flag for DFS support
  * setting this flag by DFS supporting devices
    (so far: AR_SREV_9280_20_OR_LATER, TBC)
  * setting PHYRADAR rx filter flag to enable radar
    pulse reporting
  * forward radar PHY errors to dfs module

This is WIP and at its current stage is limited to test ath9k
pulse detection capabilities. The DFS pattern matching is
TBD in the higher layers and is not part of this patch.

CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS must be set to enable pulse detection.

Please drop this chunk of code and move the check to ath_calcrxfilter, which gets called after every reset anyway. Also, use a separate flag in sc->flags for actually enabling DFS. Even if the chip has DFS support, we don't always want to enable it - especially not on 2.4 GHz or indoor 5 GHz channels.
