[PATCH v1] drm/meson: fix more rounding issues with 59.94Hz modes

Commit 1017560164b6 ("drm/meson: use unsigned long long / Hz for
frequency types") attempts to resolve video playback using 59.94Hz.
 using YUV420 by changing the clock calculation to use
Hz instead of kHz (thus yielding more precision).

The basic calculation itself is correct, however the comparisions in
meson_vclk_vic_supported_freq() and meson_vclk_setup() don't work
anymore for 59.94Hz modes (using the freq * 1000 / 1001 logic). For
example, drm/edid specifies a 593407kHz clock for 3840x2160 at 59.94Hz.
With the mentioend commit we convert this to Hz. Then meson_vclk
tries to find a matchig "params" entry (as the clock setup code
currently only supports specific frequencies) by taking the venc_freq
from the params and calculating the "alt frequency" (used for the
59.94Hz modes) from it, which is:
  (594000000Hz * 1000) / 1001 = 593406593Hz

Similar calculation is applied to the phy_freq (TMDS clock), which is 10
times the pixel clock.

Implement a new meson_vclk_freqs_are_matching_param() function whose
purpose is to compare if the requested and calculated frequencies. They
may not match exactly (for the reasons mentioned above). Allow the
clocks to deviate slightly to make the 59.94Hz modes again.

Special thanks to Christian for testing (off-list) and managing so I
can do better testing myself in the future!

This is meant to be applied on top of "drm/meson: use vclk_freq instead
of pixel_freq in debug print" from [0]
