You're missing docs for cac_started

I'll fix it if I don't have any comments on the other patches and the
answer to my question below doesn't mean a change:

Why this? If the device supports channel contexts then maybe one vif
could set the channel and the other could be doing radar detection? But
anyway this only presets the channel, so nothing will happen until the
AP interface is started? So basically I don't understand this at all.

It also raises a question: can you do radar detection properly while
doing channel TDM (multi-channel)? I guess not?
