wifi: ath10k: use = {} to initialize bmi_target_info instead of memset (2025-10-30 14:55:08 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
ath.git patches for v6.19

Highlights for some specific drivers include:

ath10k:
Add support for Factory Test TLV commands

ath11k:
Add support for Tx Power insertion

ath12k:
Add support for BSS color change

And of course there is the usual set of cleanups and bug fixes across
the entire family of "ath" drivers.

We do expect to have one more pull request before the v6.19 merge
window to pull in the refactored ath12k driver from the ath12k-ng
branch.

Note to maintainers:

There is a trivial conflict between two patches:

From ath-current => wireless => net
9222582ec524 ("Revert "wifi: ath12k: Fix missing station power save configuration"")

From ath-next => wireless-next => net-next
6917e268c433 ("wifi: ath12k: Defer vdev bring-up until CSA finalize to avoid stale beacon")

The resolution is to take both hunks, ordering them in reverse xmas tree style.
