Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7915: add module param to select 5 GHz or 6 GHz
 on MT7916

Due to a limitation in available memory, the MT7916 firmware can only
handle either 5 GHz or 6 GHz at a time. It does not support runtime
switching without a full restart.

On older firmware, this accidentally worked to some degree due to missing
checks, but couldn't be supported properly, because it left the 6 GHz
channels uncalibrated.
Newer firmware refuses to start on either band if the passed EEPROM
data indicates support for both.

Deal with this limitation by using a module parameter to specify the
preferred band in case both are supported.
