No private changes, using unmodified FW from:

https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware/-/tree/main/QCN9274/hw2.0/1.4.1/WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

max_msg_len comes from FW initialization message:

ath12k_htc_connect_service max_msg_len=0 flags_len=0x0 assigned_eid=0
boot htc service 'Control' ul pipe 0 dl pipe 1 eid 0 ready
ath12k_htc_connect_service max_msg_len=2040 flags_len=0x7f80100 
assigned_eid=1
boot htc service 'HTT Data' ul pipe 4 dl pipe 1 eid 1 ready
ath12k_htc_connect_service max_msg_len=4088 flags_len=0xff80200 
assigned_eid=2
boot htc service 'WMI' ul pipe 3 dl pipe 2 eid 2 ready


Is support for multi-band AP/STA limited by FW? AFAIK it works with 
proprietary driver.
