As station, WCN7850 firmware requires pairwise key to be installed before
group key. Currently host does not care about this, so it is up to kernel
or userspace to decide which one will be installed first. In case above
requirement is not met, WCN7850 firmware's EAPOL station machine is messed
up, and finally connection fails [1].
Reorder key install for station interface in that case: this is done by
caching group key first; Later when pairwise key arrives, both can be
installed in required order.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00217-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
