This function is used both for IBSS and mesh. Did you have something
here or in the other patches to prevent IBSS from getting the DFS
capability? These should be kept separate for IBSS and mesh since the
rules are likely somewhat different on who controls operations and also
on how to expected non-DFS-capable devices to behave. In other words,
let's not enable DFS for IBSS as part of this set unless someone has
really tested and thought about that case as well.
