Subject: [PATCH ath-next v2 0/2] wifi: ath12k: handle scan vdev
 consistently

This series of patches addresses the handling of scan links in the ath12k
driver to improve consistency and functionality. The changes ensure that
link ID 15 is correctly used for scan operations across both ML and non-ML
interfaces. Additionally, the patches prevent scan failures by fetching
link_conf only when the link ID is valid and setting appropriate default
values for scan vdevs.

Currently, no issues have been observed; these changes are intended as a
cleanup and to ensure proper handling. For split-mac these changes are
pre-req change.

Changes in v2:
- CCed linux-wireless list as well.
