[PATCH] staging: pi433: fix frequency deviation check

From: Paulo Miguel Almeida
Date: Mon Jan 03 2022 - 03:11:52 EST


rf69 datasheet states that frequency deviation must exceed 600 Hz but
also that frequency deviation + (bitrate / 2) should be less than equal
to 500 kHz to ensure proper modulation.

This patch validates that both conditions are met so RF intersymbol
interference is "avoided" where possible.
