DFS is required in the ETSI regulatory domain.  But I believe the
requirement was slipped and when it will be mandatory is unclear.

Radar detection never belonged in the hal.  It got stuck there based on

support it will be structured like the rate control code--as an addon to
the driver that operates above the hal.
