wifi: ath12k: Improve BSS discovery with hidden SSID in 6 GHz band

[ Upstream commit 27d38bd ]

Currently, sometimes, the station is unable to identify the configured
AP SSID in its scan results when the AP is not broadcasting its name
publicly and has a hidden SSID.

Currently, channel dwell time for an ath12k station is 30 ms. Sometimes,
station can send broadcast probe request to AP close to the end of dwell
time. In some of these cases, before AP sends a response to the received
probe request, the dwell time on the station side would come to an end.
So, the station will move to scan next channel and will not be able to
acknowledge the unicast probe response.

Resolve this issue by increasing station's channel dwell time to 70 ms,
so that the it remains on the same channel for a longer period. This
would increase the station's chance of receiving probe response from the
AP. The station will then send a response acknowledgment back to the AP,
thus leading to successful scan and BSS discovery.

With an increased dwell time, scan would take longer than it takes now.
But, this fix is an improvement for hidden SSID scan issue.
