mwl8k: fix band for supported channels
The band field for the supported channels were left unpopulated, making
them default to 0 == IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ, even for the 5GHz channels.
This resulted in null pointer accesses if anything tries to access
wiphy->bands[channel->band] of a 5GHz channel on 5GHz only cards, since
wiphy->bands[2GHZ] is NULL for them (e.g. cfg80211_chandef_usable does).
Example kernel OOPS:
