For AP mode, the peer is created earlier in ath12k_mac_op_add_interface().
But ath12k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx() will try to create peer again.
Then an error will return which make startup of AP mode fail.
Kernel log:
[ 5017.665006] ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: failed to create peer after vdev start delay: -22
wpa_supplicant log:
Failed to set beacon parameters
Interface initialization failed
wls1: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wls1: AP-DISABLED
wls1: Unable to setup interface.
Failed to initialize AP interface
wls1: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED
wls1: AP-DISABLED
So change this check and enable AP mode for WCN7850, then soft AP can
work normally.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
