mac80211: ath11k: sync with ath-next
Synchronize the ath11k backports with the current ath-next tree.

This replaces the management TLV pending fix with the upstreamed one,
fixes traffic flooding when AP and monitor modes are used at the same time,
fixes QCN9074 always showing -95 dBm for station RSSI in dumps,
fixes potential crash on boot if spectral scan is enabled due to writing to
unitialized memory and adds 11d scan offloading for WCN6750 and WCN6855.

Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: fix writing to unintended memory region
While initializing spectral, the magic value is getting written to the
invalid memory address leading to random boot-up crash. This occurs
due to the incorrect index increment in ath11k_dbring_fill_magic_value
function. Fix it by replacing the existing logic with memset32 to ensure
there is no invalid memory access.
Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01838-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Fixes: d3d358efc553 ("ath11k: add spectral/CFR buffer validation support")
