Add hardware fix for Intel WiFi 7 EHT on Panther Lake (#5106)

Browse Source 
Detect Intel BE200/BE211 WiFi cards and disable WiFi 7 (EHT) via
modprobe config. The iwlwifi driver has broken EHT RX adaptation
causing APs to drop to MCS 0, making WiFi unusable.
Falling back to WiFi 6 (HE) restores full performance.

Temporary fix: remove when Intel fixes the firmware/driver.

# Temporary fix for Dell XPS 14/16 on Panther Lake
# Disable WiFi 7 (EHT/802.11be) on Intel BE200/BE211 cards
# The iwlwifi driver has a broken EHT RX data path — APs drop to MCS 0 NSS 1
# when EHT is negotiated, making WiFi unusable. Disabling EHT falls
# back to WiFi 6 (HE/802.11ax) which works at full speed.
# This should be removed when Intel fixes the firmware/driver.
