Description
I have 2 mt7916 chips in my AP,
but unless I add the parameter "enable_6ghz=y" in my /etc/modules.conf,
I cannot use the 6ghz feature.
but, when turning on this feature,
both cards seem to be locked to 6ghz, and 5ghz operation no longer works.
this is a pity, as I wanted 2 bands on 2.4ghz with limited bandwidth, one 5ghz band and one 6ghz band.
is there any way to make the "enable_6ghz=y" parameter device specific?
thanks!

Research direction
Start with the mt7916 driver and the enable_6ghz parameter described in the issue; inspect how the setting from /etc/modules.conf is applied when multiple cards are present. Define how the parameter should select individual cards, and confirm that one card can use 6 GHz while another continues operating on 5 GHz.
