Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] wifi: ath11k: mac: fix struct ieee80211_sband_iftype_data handling

From: Kalle Valo <[email protected]>

Commit e8c1841278a7 ("wifi: cfg80211: annotate iftype_data pointer with
sparse") added sparse checks for struct ieee80211_sband_iftype_data handling
which immediately found an issue in ath11k:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: expected struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const *he_cap
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: got struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const [noderef] __iftype_data *

The problem here is that we are accessing sband->iftype_data directly even
though we should use for_each_sband_iftype_data() or similar. Fortunately
there's ieee80211_get_he_iftype_cap_vif() which is just what we need here so
use it to get HE capabilities.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.23
