Will fix.

Yeah, I was picking an arbitrary cutoff and 1MHz seemed reasonable in
part because in order to get above 1MHz you would set the divisor to 0
(1 << 0) anyway because you will only modify the SCL high and low time
for anything less than that. Also because that was the cutoff for fast
mode (as opposed to high speed).

Good catch. Yeah, I did not realize it. I should probably remove this
until that is supported then.

I would guess that we should make them correspond to the cutoff for
high speed mode, or fast mode plus. Not really sure though, the
documentation is not clear on this (or a lot of other things :-P)

Agreed.
