[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/vc4: hdmi: Disable Wifi Frequencies

There's cross-talk on the RPi4 between the 2.4GHz channels used by the WiFi
chip and some resolutions, most notably 1440p at 60Hz.

In such a case, we can either reject entirely the mode, or lower slightly
the pixel frequency to remove the overlap. Let's go for the latter.

Changes from v1:
  - Change the name of the property
  - Test for a range instead of an exact frequency
