Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: fix AP mode for QCA6390

Commit c134d1f8c436 ("ath11k: Handle errors if peer creation fails") completely broke AP mode on QCA6390:

kernel: [ 151.230734] ath11k_pci 0000:06:00.0: failed to create peer after vdev start delay: -22 wpa_supplicant[2307]: Failed to set beacon parameters
wpa_supplicant[2307]: Interface initialization failed
wpa_supplicant[2307]: wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wpa_supplicant[2307]: wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wpa_supplicant[2307]: wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
wpa_supplicant[2307]: Failed to initialize AP interface

This was because commit c134d1f8c436 ("ath11k: Handle errors if peer creation fails") added error handling for ath11k_peer_create(), which had been failing all along but was unnoticed due to the missing error handling. The actual bug was introduced already in commit aa44b2f3ecd4 ("ath11k: start vdev if a bss peer is already created").

ath11k_peer_create() was failing because for AP mode the peer is created already earlier op_add_interface() and we should skip creation here, but the check for modes was wrong. Fixing that makes AP mode work again.

This shouldn't affect IPQ8074 nor QCN9074 as they have hw_params.vdev_start_delay disabled.
