Cover letter [PATCH ath-next 0/5] wifi: ath11k: WMI services debugfs and HE AP fixes

A debugfs file listing the firmware's WMI services, and fixes for an ath11k HE AP found by checking it against IEEE Std 802.11-2024, each tested on a QCN9074:

1. debugfs: wmi_services lists the services the firmware advertises. Earlier posted in the airtime fairness series, now split by tree; since v2 the commit message no longer claims to match ath10k's output.
2. Probe Responses during a channel switch carried the initial count:
ath11k never counted down mac80211's CSA counter (as ath12k does).
3. Without spatial reuse parameters, an AP enabled non-SRG OBSS PD at -62 dBm; it now stays off, as in ath12k.
4. A 6 GHz AP never sent its per-20 MHz power limits to firmware (the TPC command was station only); it now does as an LPI AP, as in ath12k.
5. The hardware DSCP-TID tables used the class selector bits, while cfg80211 maps DSCP to UP per RFC 8325 section 4; checked on air through the firmware's per-TID peer statistics (CS1->1, AF21->3, EF->6, CS6->7).

None of them depends on the mac80211 series sent alongside.

The patches by me were written with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code), which also drafted the changelogs; the testing described was done on the hardware.
