Henry Tung 94e04a4513 mac80211: ath11k: fix broadcast failures during GTK rekeying
Revert key_cipher change to NONE when clearing key.
Setting to NONE triggers asserts in the firmware and causes broadcast
drops with ath11k firmware 2.9.0.1, so until a future blob
fixes this, revert this as a workaround.

Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: Revert: clear the keys properly when DISABLE_KEY
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Reverting the Upstream clear key change added as a part of
436a4e886598 ("ath11k: clear the keys properly
when DISABLE_KEY")
This change exposed a race in WLAN Firmware where target asserts
are seen frequently due FW not synchronizing ath11k hosts clear
key commands(CIPHER changes to NONE) with frames in TX queue.
Hence reverting this change untill FW fixes to synchronize
ath11k hosts clear key command are available.
