yes, it is of course evident that it's my commit from git.
I think you are not catching my point. What I mean is:
fast mode devices are downward compatible and can communicate
with the devices with standard only mode. Those comments in that
enum says exactly that (with "up to" keyword). However the code
which configures the bus in fast mode and restrict the frequency
to operate in 100 kb/s without any reason, and this creates
confusion..
Perhaps, I think we need to remove one of these
parameters as configurable options and derive out the
frequency based on the mode of operation..
