+Subject: [PATCH] ath: DFS - limit number of potential PRI sequences
+
+In the PRI detector, after the current radar pulse
+has been checked agains existing PRI sequences, it
+is considered as part of a new potential sequence.
+
+Previously, the condition to accept a new sequence
+was to have at least the same number of pulses as
+the longest matching sequence. This was wrong,
+since it led to duplicates of PRI sequences.
+
+This patch changes the acceptance criteria for new
+potential sequences from 'at least' to 'more than'
+the longest existing.
+
+Detection performance remains unaffected, while
+the number of PRI sequences accounted at runtime
+(and with it CPU load) is reduced by up to 50%.
