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.

Hi Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu,
For QCA6390, it is single_pdev, the pdev support all 2G/5G/6G,
Is it have 3 pdev/ath11k in your chip for 2G/5G/6G?
And the pdev/ath11k of 6G have WMI_HOST_WLAN_5G_CAP of cap->supported_bands?
