So why don't we create proper device tree bindings for the above platform
data?

For example several driver under
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/*
define the .clk_freq above as "clock-frequency"

samsung-i2c even has this:
samsung,i2c-sda-delay = <100>;
samsung,i2c-max-bus-freq = <100000>;

Where i2c-sda-delay corresponds to slsu above.

I suspect .sm can be derived from the frequency so it
is "FAST" whenever the frequency > 100000.

This looks to me like a way to push the burden of doing the real
device tree binding for the above to the next user.
(Which will likely be me, so therefore I care a bit ...)
