From: Dmitry Lebed <dle...@quantenna.com>Add wiphy flag to indicate that HW does all DFS actions by itself. User-space functionality already implemented in hostapd using vendor-specific (QCA) OUI to advertise HW support. Need to introduce generic flag to inform about DFS offload support. For deivces with DFS_OFFLOAD flag set user-space will no longer need to issue CAC or do any actions in response to "radar detected" events. HW will do everything by itself and send events to user-space to idicate that CAC was started/finished, etc. Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Lebed <dle...@quantenna.com> --- include/net/cfg80211.h | 7 ++++++- include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h | 9 +++++++++ net/wireless/nl80211.c | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/net/cfg80211.h b/include/net/cfg80211.h index ed3a28105d6c..b2d17993ae4d 100644 --- a/include/net/cfg80211.h +++ b/include/net/cfg80211.h @@ -3241,6 +3241,11 @@ struct cfg80211_ops { * @WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN: The device supports IBSS RSN. * @WIPHY_FLAG_MESH_AUTH: The device supports mesh authentication by routing * auth frames to userspace.

wiphy flags are kinda deprecated. At least no new flags should be added. Instead use EXT_FEATURE flag.
