Subject prefix should be "wifi: rtw89: ..."

The callers of these two cases will pass RTW89_PHY_0 (0) as argument of phy_idx,
and will extend to pass RTW89_PHY_1 (1) in the future, but should not be larger
than 1.

I don't mind to add this checking, but I really don't know what happened neither.
A statement 'wl->scan_info.band[phy_idx] = band;' did similar thing in the same
function, but why doesn't gcc complain this?
