Ooookay, after checking some datasheets, I finally stumbled over the
fact that this driver is not using "clock-frequency" to determine the
bus speed. However, this is the standard way of defining that in DT, so
this driver should adhere to that, too, and not invent something new.
Previously, I was under the impression that the above parameters were
needed for fine-tuning and couldn't fully grasp why. But this is for
defining the bus speed which is a no-go.

It looks to me that older PXA only have a bit to select between 100 and
400kHz while this newer one can have arbitrary frequencies. Correct?

So, what the driver should do:

- Keep support for the old "mrvl,i2c-fast-mode" binding which should be
marked as deprecated

- get the value of the standard property "clock-frequency"

- for old PXAs, complain if not 100 or 400kHz, otherwise set the bit
accordingly

- for new PXAs, calculate the ilcr and iwcr values from
"clock-frequency"

Makes sense?
