Commit "ath11k: support SMPS configuration for 6 GHz" changed "if
(ht_cap & WMI_HT_CAP_DYNAMIC_SMPS)" to "if (ht_cap &
WMI_HT_CAP_DYNAMIC_SMPS || ar->supports_6ghz)" which means
NL80211_FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SMPS is enabled for all chips which support 6
GHz. However, WCN6855 supports 6 GHz but it does not support feature
NL80211_FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SMPS, and this can lead to MU-MIMO test failures
for WCN6855.

Disable NL80211_FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SMPS for WCN6855 since its ht_cap does
not support WMI_HT_CAP_DYNAMIC_SMPS.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-01720.1-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-1

This hunk failed, in the pending branch as I don't have that
ar->supports_6ghz check. I'll drop this patch 3 for now, let's revisit
after my queue of ath11k patches is smaller.
