ath: Add config option for DFS support
This patch adds a config option to enable DFS in ath9k and ath10k drivers (with ath10k you need the AP-branch firmware). I'm not entirely sure about the regulatory compliance issues, though. As far as I understand, enabling the DFS_CERTIFIED config options implies that the device is certified for DFS. No doubt the original firmware has obtained such a certification, but not with the open source drivers. I suppose that as long as this is disabled in default builds (like ATH_USER_REGD) everything should be fine, but it would be nice to have out-of-the-box OpenWrt support for DFS. I'm also not sure whether the description of the configuration option should say something about regulatory compliance.

Say Y, if you want to debug atheros wireless drivers.
Right now only ath9k makes use of this.
