[PATCH ath-current] wifi: ath11k: avoid bit operation on key flags

Newsgroups org.infradead.lists.ath11k,org.kernel.vger.linux-wireless
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Bitwise operations with WMI_KEY_PAIRWISE (defined as 0) are ineffective
and misleading. This results in pairwise key validations added in
commit 97acb0259cc9 ("wifi: ath11k: fix group data packet drops
during rekey") to always evaluate false and clear key commands for
pairwise keys are not honored.

Since firmware supports overwriting the new key without explicitly
clearing the previous one, there is no visible impact currently.
However, to restore consistency with the previous behavior and improve
clarity, replace bitwise operations with direct assignments and
comparisons for key flags.

Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-02146-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
