Hi Kang,

I see wlan0 failure with below log with firmware version
WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4.
Do I need any patch outside mainline? Actually, I add below 2 patches
for 6GHz band.
afb7a22d9e22 wifi: ath12k: build 6 GHz regd based on vdev type and 6
GHz power type
6c60469f0bae wifi: ath12k: add support to select 6 GHz Regulatory type
