Yes, I also found this problem, next version I will fix the indent problem

According to NXP Layerscape SoC Reference Manual, there are three MUL
options for i2c controller to configure i2c Bus Frequency Divider Register (IBFD)
to determine the clock Frequency of i2c.
Some socs (such as ls1046a) have the best performance when MUL=4,
and the default is MUL=1.
This option is optional and can be configured by device tree
