For non-ETSI regulatory domain, CAC result on DFS channel
may not be valid once moving out of that channel (as done
during remain-on-channel, scannning and off-channel tx).
Running CAC on an operating DFS channel after every off-channel
operation will only add complexity and disturb the current
link. Better do not allow any off-channel switch from a DFS
operating channel in non-ETSI domain.

Moving out should be forbidden only to "master" devices i.e. AP, mesh,
ad-hoc.
"Slave" devices i.e. client stations, are not responsible for detecting
radars, hence, they can do an off-channel scan and go back to a "DFS
operating channel" without waiting for CAC.

It looks like your patch would forbid multichannel scan ?

That could use some locking assertions. Maybe also in the
cfg80211_beaconing_iface_active() function you introduced in the
previous patch.

I'm not convinced you even hold the relevant locks here, though off the
top of my head I'm not even sure which are needed.

I'd prefer to write that as !off_channel && !chandef_identical, seems
easier to understand here.

No, this patch forbids off-channel switch only for DFS master device.
cfg80211_beaconing_iface_active() checks if it is a beaconing interface.
I'll mention this in the commit log.

Thanks for pointing it, it should be within wdev_lock().
