[ath9k-devel] [PATCH] ath9k: Prevent radar detection and spectral scan to be used concurrently

[Benjamin Berg <benjamin@sipsolutions.net>]

In the case that a spectral scan is enabled the PHY errors sent by the
hardware as part of the scanning might trigger the radar detection and
channels might be marked as 'unusable' incorrectly. This patch fixes
the issue by preventing the spectral scan to be enabled if DFS is used
and only analysing the PHY errors for DFS if radar detection is enabled.
