[ Upstream commit bf76b144fe53c7f0de9e294947d903fc7724776f ]

Currently, when using WCN7850 or QCN9274 as AP, ath12k always performs down
grade phy mode operation regardless of whether the firmware supports EHT
capability or not and then vdev will start in HE mode. When stations that
support EHT capability try to connect to the AP, the AP will set phy mode
to EHT after receiving the association request packet, and then send
WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID command to firmware, AP’s firmware will crash.

This is because when the ath12k_mac_copy_sband_iftype_data() function
handles EHT capability, it does not copy the EHT capability into the
iftype[band][type] array according to the interface type. So, interface
type should not be used as an index to get eht_cap in
ath12k_mac_check_down_grade_phy_mode() function.

To address this issue, use types_mask to select the eht_cap in
ath12k_mac_check_down_grade_phy_mode() function.

This patch affects QCN9274 and WCN7850 because they have the same issue.
