In commit '3c0efb745a17 ("ath9k: discard undersized packets")' the lower bound of RX packets was set to 10 (min ACK size) to filter those that would otherwise be treated as invalid at mac80211. Alas, short radar pulses are reported as PHY_ERROR frames with length set to 3. Therefore their detection stopped working after that commit. NOTE: ath9k drivers built thereafter will not pass DFS certification. This extends the criteria for short packages to explicitly handle PHY_ERROR frames.
