v5:
 - do not add ht/vht caps in 6ghz band.
v3:
 - update 6GHz starting frequency as defined in IEEE P802.11ax/D6.1

After this change, when 6G is support, it removed HT/VHT of 5G band from "iw list", when connect to an 11AX AP of 5G, it used non-HT. caused together with this commit 75e296e9b22aef6fa467523ace87ef623dac1fad(mac80211: simplify and improve HT/VHT/HE disable code)
+       /* disable HT/VHT/HE if we don't support them */

+               ifmgd->flags |= IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HE;

after remove this change in ath11k, it become correct to HE
