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.
