8852ce: No packets from 5GHz in Monitor mode

[grutz]

Using a 8852ce module on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I am able to capture frames on most 2.4 GHz channels when in monitor mode. Low power mode is disabled.

As soon as the frequency is moved to a 5 GHz or 6E-enabled channel, no packets:

However APs are seen on freq 5220 when doing an iw realtekwifi0 scan process:
