This patch introduces CONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_BURST and CONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_SINGLE to Kconfig, allowing users to override the default SPI frequencies for the CC1101 wireless driver. Previously, these values were hardcoded to 6.5 MHz and 9.0 MHz respectively. While these are safe defaults for many setups, specific hardware designs, high routing capacitance, or platforms utilizing internal GPIO switching matrices (such as the ESP32) can suffer from signal integrity degradation at these speeds. By exposing these to Kconfig, users can easily adjust the clock speeds to match their hardware capabilities without modifying the core driver source. Impact: - Build: Adds two new Kconfig options under WL_CC1101. - Runtime: Retains 6.5 MHz / 9.0 MHz defaults. Behavior only changes if overridden via menuconfig. Testing: - Built with default values and custom Kconfig overrides. - Hardware Testing: Tested on a sub-optimal platform utilizing an internal GPIO matrix (ESP32). The CC1101 failed to load at the default 6.5/9.0 MHz due to signal integrity issues. Downclocking the frequencies to 4.0 MHz via Kconfig successfully restored signal integrity and allowed the driver to initialize and operate normally. Signed-off-by: Chip L. <chplee@gmail.com>

Summary
This PR makes the SPI communication frequencies for the CC1101 wireless driver configurable via Kconfig.
Previously,
CC1101_SPIFREQ_BURSTandCC1101_SPIFREQ_SINGLEwere hardcoded to 6.5 MHz and 9.0 MHz indrivers/wireless/cc1101.c. While these defaults work well for many typical setups, they can cause stability issues on sub-optimal hardware. Platforms with higher routing capacitance, long trace lines, or those that utilize internal GPIO switching matrices (such as the ESP32) can severely degrade SPI signal integrity, causing the CC1101 driver initialization to fail.This change introduces
CONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_BURSTandCONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_SINGLEintodrivers/wireless/Kconfigand updates the C source file to use these definitions. The original hardcoded values are preserved as the fallback defaults to ensure backward compatibility for existing users.Impact
CONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_BURSTandCONFIG_CC1101_SPIFREQ_SINGLEto the configuration menu under the CC1101 driver settings.make menuconfig, the SPI clock speed during CC1101 access will adjust accordingly.Testing
