Do not make assumptions about what band 'a' or 'b' are on.
And add new reason code for when eMLSR is disabled due to
band.

Hi Ben.

It is actually required that a (the better link) will be on 6 GHz and b on 5 GHz
Regarding the new exit reason, it is not really needed as we can easily differentiate between the cases (from other logs)

NACK.

Thanks,
Miri

Hello Miri,

I tested this patch, and it fixed problems for me when I ran a test that created
interfering traffic on 5ghz and then later on 6Ghz.  I expected eMLSR mode to stay
active no matter where the interfering traffic existed.  With this patch, and a few
others I posted, the be200 then works fairly well.

6Ghz is not always better, for instance in case where it is congested with
external traffic.

Can you please let me know *why* you think the better link must always be 6ghz in this case?

Thanks,
Ben
