Author of what? The i2c driver was written by Srinidhi. (The
MODULE_AUTHOR() clause should be a good hint...)

But it's true that board data for the ux500 kernel use
100000 Hz and I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST, in the board-mop500.c
file, like this:

U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(0, 0xe, 1, 8, 100000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(1, 0xe, 1, 8, 100000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(2, 0xe, 1, 8, 100000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(3, 0xe, 1, 8, 100000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);

This is indeed a bit odd. But obviously it works... But reading some
fixes in another tree it seems it should look like this:

/*
* The board uses 4 i2c controllers, initialize all of
* them with slave data setup time of 250 ns,
* Tx & Rx FIFO threshold values as 1 and standard
* mode of operation
*/
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(0, 0xe, 1, 8, 400000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(1, 0xe, 1, 8, 400000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(2, 0xe, 1, 8, 400000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);
U8500_I2C_CONTROLLER(3, 0xe, 1, 8, 400000, 200, I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST);

Which makes *much* more sense.

I'll cook a separate patch for this or something.

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
