If DFS is offloaded to the driver, hostapd should not be performing
these operations. Send the relevant control interface events to provide
information to upper layer software that may use such events to track
DFS/CAC state. This makes the offloaded DFS implementation more
consistent with the DFS-in-hostapd behavior.

If DFS implementation was built in, some configurations with drivers
that do not provide mode information could end up dereferencing a NULL
pointer. Fix this by skipping DFS operations in such cases since not
having information about modes and channels means that hostapd could not
perform DFS anyway (i.e., either this is not a wireless driver or the
driver takes care of DFS internally).

This allows cases where neither 80 MHz segment requires DFS to be
configured. DFS CAC operation itself does not yet support 80+80, though,
so if either segment requires DFS, the AP cannot be brought up.

Currently hostapd data structures aren't ready for multi-channel BSSes,
so make DFS work now at least with single-channel multi-BSS channel
switching.

Sometimes function hostapd_is_dfs_required() returns -1 which indicates
that it was not possible to check if DFS was required. This happens for
channels from the 2.4 GHz band where DFS checking should not happen.
This can be fixed by returning DFS-not-required for mode different from
IEEE80211A and when DFS support is not available (ieee80211h not set).

If channels are "available", change to "usable" DFS channels as a
fallback, too. This requires CAC, but it is still better to do that
instead of stopping service completely.
Signed-hostap: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
If DFS channels are marked as "available", an AP can switch to them
immediately without performing CAC. Therefore, the channel selection
function should consider these channels even though these are radar
channels.

Different channels allow different transmission power, at least in ETSI
countries. Also, ETSI requires a "channel plan" for DFS operation, and
channels should be randomly choosen from these channels.
Add a channel list configuration option for users to add channels
hostapd may pick from.

Previously, we printed this message as a debug one, which was confusing
in case verbose debug messages were disabled. User could think CAC
started but never ended. Add more parameterss to DFS_EVENT_CAC_START, so
external programs can more easily check what was wrong in case of
errors.

This seemed to be fine on most code paths, but the code was complex
enough to make the analysis difficult (and a bit too much for static
analyzers). There is no harm in forcing these parameters to be
initialized, so do that to make sure they cannot be left uninitialized.

Until now DFS was simply restarting the AP when radar was detected. Now
CSA is used to perform smooth switch to the new channel. Stations not
supporting CSA will behave as before.

This is needed for AP CSA. Since CSA must happen immediately after radar
is detected there's no time to perform CAC. Thus, radar channels must be
disabled when looking for a new channel to escape to after a radar is
detected.

NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1 is defined to be used for anything but 20 MHz
bandwidth, so it could be unset for 20 MHz channels. Do not use it to
override center frequency from NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ (if available)
for 20 MHz channels to avoid clearing frequency.

DFS operations are specific to the interface (radio/wiphy), not BSS
(netdev/vif), so hostapd_iface is the appropriate element to use in
them.
Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
If radar was detected single BSS is notified about it. This caused only
that single BSS to be stopped and restarted. However, due to nl80211
interface combinations the BSS was not started on a new channel and
other BSSes remained operating on the old channel.
The downside is that hostapd_disable_iface() causes deauth frames to be
sent. This is undesired but on the other hand it doesn't make sense to
create workarounds that imitate CSA's 'block tx'. For proper Tx
quiescing CSA should be properly implemented.
