Kernel test robot reported below warning ->
drivers/net/wireless/ath/wcn36xx/main.c:409:7: warning: Branch
condition evaluates to a garbage value
[clang-analyzer-core.uninitialized.Branch]

Also code walk indicates, if channel is not found in first band,
it will break the loop and instead of exit it will go ahead and
assign a garbage value in wcn->channel which looks like a bug.

Initialize channel with NULL should avoid this issue.

Fixes: 	d6f2746691cb ("wcn36xx: Track the band and channel we are tuned to")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
