To debug this issue the development team has asked:
#1) Please change ath12k debug_mask to 0xffffffff
#2) trigger association to 5G AP
#3) reproduce throughput low issue with 5G AP
#4) trigger association to 6G AP
#5) reproduce throughput low issue with 6G AP

Then share the logs with me (redacting anything personal) and I'll pass
them on to the developers.
