prefer naming rtw89_core_sband_dup().

Then, '*dup'.

I'm planning to use devm_ series to manage sband data, so we don't need to
free them one by one. Do you interest to adjust that along with this patchset? 
I mean adding additional patches to adjust the code before this patch, and
make them as a patchset. 

For kmemdup, the corresponding one is devm_kmemdup. 

The line is too long. Less than 80 characters is preferred.

Since you have duplicated arrays of channels and bitrate, we should add const
to them, like:

  static const struct ieee80211_channel rtw89_channels_{2ghz,5ghz,6ghz}[]
  static const struct ieee80211_rate rtw89_bitrates[]

Like I mentioned above, with devm_ series, I suppose this function can be
removed entirely.
