It is in firmware, and you cannot reliably poke it through the driver
read/write register API because each time the radio resets (channel change, etc), it is
liable to re-write the CCA registers back to default values.
There is a large list of registers with 'CCA' in the name, but I don't
know what they really mean, and I had hard time getting that info out
of QCA. If you have any better luck, please post whatever you can
share.
Thanks,
Ben
