Oh, this fell through the cracks. Commit bc8a0fac8677 was introduced in
v6.9-rc1 so I should have sent this to v6.9 but it's too late now. I'll
need to queue this for v6.10 via wireless tree.

Adding the regression also to regzbot:

#regzbot introduced: bc8a0fac8677
#regzbot title: ath11k: connection to 6 GHz AP fails
