On a split phy qcn9274 (2.4GHz + 5GHz low), "iw phy" reports 320MHz
realated features on the 5GHz band while it should not:
Wiphy phy1
[...]
Band 2:
[...]
EHT Iftypes: managed
[...]
EHT PHY Capabilities: (0xe2ffdbe018778000):
320MHz in 6GHz Supported
[...]
Beamformee SS (320MHz): 7
[...]
Number Of Sounding Dimensions (320MHz): 3
[...]
EHT MCS/NSS: (0x22222222222222222200000000):
This is also reflected in the beacons sent by a mesh interface started on
that band. They erroneously advertise 320MHZ support too.
This should not happen as the spec at section 9.4.2.323.3 says we should
not set the 320MHz related fields when not operating on a 6GHz band.
For example it says about Bit 0 "Support For 320 MHz In 6 GHz"
"Reserved if the EHT Capabilities element is indicating capabilities for
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands."
Fix this by clearing the related bits when converting from WMI eht phy
capabilities to mac80211 phy capabilities, for bands other than 6GHz.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00218-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Changes from v1:
- rebased on ath-next
- clear all 6GHz / 320MHz related phy capabilities fields from the firmware
