Why? That variable is addreccing a problem on a completely different 
hardware:

	/*
	 * There dummy delay is calculated.
	 * It should be about one I2C clock period long.
	 * This delay is used in I2C bus disable function
	 * to fix chip hardware bug.
	 */

and is used on a different path - during controller disable.

Indeed.
