This fixes a problem of initial radar detection
(CAC) being stuck and blocking Rx in some cases
until all interfaces were brought down.

For userspace this meant first run of hostapd
would perform CAC but due to filtered Rx no
clients would associate. Subsequent runs of
hostapd would not perform CAC (as it was already
done) and would associate clients.

This also makes sure radar detection is performed
when bandwidth is widened. Before if 20MHz CAC was
performed then 40MHz CAC wouldn't start monitor
vdev effectively disabling initial radar
detection.

A driver should just start/stop radar detection
based on hw->conf.radar_enabled. However, since
ath10k needs to start a monitor vdev for the
initial radar detection special care needs to be
applied.

While at it cleanup the code a bit.

It would be good to describe more about the cases where this problem
happened.

I would prefer style like this:

        u32 dfs_block_radar_events;

        /* these are protected by conf_mutex */
        bool radar_enabled; 
        int num_started_vdevs;

Forward declarations should be avoided if possible. Can you add a new
patch which just moves ath10k_recalc_radar_detection() and in this patch
you do the modifications in the function?

Now num_started_vdevs will be -1, what does that mean? It would be good
to document that in struct ath10k.

Ok.

The we need to move ath10k_cac_start/stop and possibly a few other
functions as well. I'll check that out.

Ah, it's missing "!" in front of the WARN_ON..

Hi,

This loosely depends on `ath10k: refactor monitor
code`. Without it patch this patchset introduces
some (harmless) runtime warnings.

This v2 introduces a non-functional patch to avoid
forward declaration. The [1/2] has a little
conflict with `ath10k: refactor monitor code`
which renames ath10k_monitor_stop() to
ath10k_monitor_vdev_stop().

Part of the original CAC problem is also addressed
in `mac80211: fix radar_enabled propagation`.

Thanks, both patches applied.
