Hello Jouni,

I would consider this series as ready. In brief, patches 1-3 contain
preparatory refactoring changes including minor enhancements for
channel sanity check in chan_switch hostapd_cli command.
The actual changes are the last two patches.

The primary reason for calling this RFC was to get some feedback
regarding the change of behavior of chan_switch command. Previously
it did not work for DFS channels, now it starts CAC when needed
and then switches to the selected DFS channel.
