wifi: ath12k: Fix the handling of TX packets in Ethernet mode
Currently, in the transmit (TX) direction, EAPOL, QoS NULL,
and multicast frames are sent in native Wi-Fi (802.11) format.
However, when the virtual interface is configured in Ethernet
mode, transmission fails for packets enqueued in native Wi-fi format.
To address this issue, the firmware should be instructed to
treat these packets as RAW type packets, ensuring proper
handling even when the interface operates in Ethernet mode.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00217-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
