Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath10k: mac: enable WIPHY_FLAG_CHANNEL_CHANGE_ON_BEACON on ath10k

Enabling this flag, ensures that reg_call_notifier is called
on beacon hints from handle_reg_beacon in cfg80211. This call
propagates the channel property changes to ath10k driver, thus
changing the channel property from passive scan to active scan
based on beacon hints.
Once the channels are rightly changed from passive to active,the
connection to hidden SSID does not fail.
