In mode-2 QCN9074 firmware uses 15 MB of host memory and firmware
request 1 MB size segments in QMI, whereas in mode-0 firmware uses 45 MB
of host memory and each segment is of 2 MB size. In mode-2 firmware
operates with reduced number of vdevs and peers.

Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01838-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

I am worried about this array. It implies that _all_ hardware support
these modes but is that really the case? I would guess that these are
very much hardware and firmware specific values.

So because of that I would feel clearer to have num_vdevs and num_peers
in ath11k_hw_params, to make it clear that the values are hardware
specific. And then have fw_mem_mode, num_vdevs and num_peers in their
own struct within struct ath11k_hw_params, just like spectral has
grouped valued together.
