The I2C specification does not specify any default or maximum values.

Some I2C devices are out of spec, and might not work properly with minimum
values.

Can you give names here? Would be interesting to know since a few
drivers implement the minimum timings.

I don't have the name actually.
The request to implement this change came from hw guys.


This patch adds a 10% margin on all the timings.

Is there a safety margin or do the devices start to work exactly at 10%?

10% is a safety margin, I don't know what is the limit.

That needs a comment about the margin, otherwise people will wonder
where these values come from.

Ok, I will add a comment in the v2.
