Seevalamuthu, in upstream IPQ8074 doesn't even support monitor mode:

static const struct ath11k_hw_params ath11k_hw_params[] = {
	{
		.hw_rev = ATH11K_HW_IPQ8074,
		.name = "ipq8074 hw2.0",
...
		.interface_modes = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION) |
					BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) |
					BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT),

So I wonder how did you test this? Is this something which is only
tested on ancient QSDK kernels and not with upstream kernels?
