Hi Thomas,

One nitpick; I just looked, and other i2c controllers are already
using 'clock-frequency' instead of 'speed-hz' for the speed of the
bus.  I'd like to see this patch use the same terminology.

I studied 'clock-frequency' usage of existing i2c drivers before working on this patch.

i2c-ibm_iic.c, i2c-mpc.c, i2c-ocores.c : use as bus clock frequency input to the core.

i2c-cpm.c : use as i2c SCL output frequency.

Most other non-i2c drivers use clock-frequency as bus clock frequency input, too.

I think the SCL freq usage in i2c-cpm.c is confusing. So I would suggest we borrow 'speed-hz' from spi subsystem, which means the clock freq output on the peripheral bus.

Best regards,
Thomas
