For WPA3-SAE Connection in EXTSAE mode, the userspace daemon is allowed to
generate the SAE Auth frames. The driver uses the "mgmt_frame" FW IOVAR to
transmit this MGMT frame.
Before sending the IOVAR, the Driver is incorrectly treating the channel
number read from the FW as a frequency value and again attempts to convert
this into a channel number using ieee80211_frequency_to_channel().
This added an invalid channel number as part of the IOVAR request to the FW
And some FW which strictly expects a valid channel would return BAD_CHAN
error, while failing to transmit the driver requested SAE Auth MGMT frame.
Fix this in the CYW vendor specific MGMT TX cfg80211 ops handler, by not
treating the channel number read from the FW as frequency value and skip
the attempt to convert it again into a channel number.
Also fix this in the generic MGMT TX cfg80211 ops handler.
