[PATCH 16/23] wifi: mt76: mt7925: double the retry budget for NAN unicast management

[Sean Wang]

From: Jacobs Wu <jacobs.wu at mediatek.com>

The NAN setup handshakes are one-shot at the host: wpa_supplicant aborts
PASN on the first unacknowledged authentication frame and completes the
NDP state machine without retransmitting an unacknowledged key-install.
Right after the data path confirm both peers transmit at each other
nearly simultaneously, and with half-duplex radios one 15-retry burst
regularly dies inside the peer's own TX window (measured ~50% loss of
the key-install on an MT7925 pair, killing the NDP setup).

Double the TXD retry budget to the field maximum for NAN unicast
management so the burst outlives the cross-fire window.
