Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath12k: fix potential NULL dereference

In this condition if "sband" is NULL then it leads to a NULL dereference
on the next line when it does "idx -= sband->n_channels;".

The condition can just be deleted, because if "sband" is NULL or the
"idx" is out of bounds, then the correct thing is to at this point is to
return -ENOENT.  There are no additional sbands available to try.
