DFS channels bug?

After settings the 5Ghz radio to one of DFS channels, Luci never shows the 5Ghz radio as up. It gets stuck as "Device is not active/Wireless is not associated".

BUT the clients are able to connect and work correctly ( iw dev wlan1 station dump shows them, etc.)

Any known fix for that?
Setup: OpenWRT 19.0.3 + Phicomm K3 (~= ASUS ac88u)

        Supported extended features:
                * [ DFS_OFFLOAD ]: DFS offload

It takes a minute so to raise a DFS channel. This is because it has to be scanned for interference first.

Simply pick a non-DFS channel to resolve the delay.

You may wish to upgrade too.
