Before 6G band was supported, i.e. only 2G and 5G, they were the same
from the numerical point of view. However, after 6G band support, we
need to do this conversion logically.

In the ath drivers we've been trying to avoid using the terms 2G/5G/6G to describe frequencies since that usage conflicts with the cellular use of similar terms to describe generations of the technology, and further could cause confusion now that WFA is also defining generations of Wi-Fi by number instead of by IEEE 802.11 amendment.

To that end it would be nice if we could universally adopt using proper SI terminology when referring to Wi-Fi frequencies:
2 GHz (or 2.4 GHz), 5 GHz, & 6 GHz
