[PATCH 6.19 310/844] wifi: cfg80211: treat deprecated INDOOR_SP_AP_OLD control value as LPI mode

[ Upstream commit fd5bfcf430ea2fdbb3e78fd0b82ceb0ab02b72ee ]
Although value 4 (INDOOR_SP_AP_OLD) is deprecated in IEEE standards,
existing APs may still use this control value. Since this value is
based on the old specification, we cannot trust such APs implement
proper power controls.
Therefore, move IEEE80211_6GHZ_CTRL_REG_INDOOR_SP_AP_OLD case
from SP_AP to LPI_AP power type handling to prevent potential
power limit violations.
