cfg80211 has cfg80211_chandef_dfs_usable() function to know whether
at least one channel in the chandef is in usable state or not. Also,
cfg80211_chandef_dfs_cac_time() function is there which tells the CAC
time required for the given chandef.

Make these two functions visible to drivers by exporting their symbol
to global list of kernel symbols.

Lower level drivers can make use of these two functions to be aware
if CAC is required on the given chandef and for how long. For example
drivers which maintains the CAC state internally can make use of these.

The wireless trees are closed for July:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/87y1kncuh4.fsf@kernel.org/

Though I changed my plans and came back earlier.

And honestly these kind of emails don't really help. If a maintainer is
busy (and they usually are) sending more mails will do the opposite. If
you want to speed up your review help the maintainer somehow, for
example by reviewing or testing other patches etc which can reduce the
load of the maintainer.
