Bitwise operations with WMI_KEY_PAIRWISE (defined as 0) are ineffective and misleading. This results in pairwise key validations added in commit 97acb0259cc9 ("wifi: ath11k: fix group data packet drops during rekey") to always evaluate false and clear key commands for pairwise keys are not honored. Since firmware supports overwriting the new key without explicitly clearing the previous one, there is no visible impact currently. However, to restore consistency with the previous behavior and improve clarity, replace bitwise operations with direct assignments and comparisons for key flags.
