Do you have a reference to a specific document and section? That'd be
good to include in the commit description for future reference.

Using your full name rather than an abbreviation is preferred.
You didn't send this pach to the I2C maintainer so I imagine he won't
see it and hence it won't be applied.
It'd also be a good idea to send this to the Raspberry Pi mailing list,
linux-rpi-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

The old code used to round the divider up in the case where the LSB was
set. This ensures that the I2C clock rate is no faster than what was
requested.

What about when divider == 1? Shouldn't that if condition be:
if (divider < BCM2835_I2C_CDIV_MIN)
?

The datasheet describes how the HW interprets the register value (by
ignoring the LSB). It doesn't say how SW must program the register. In
other words, SW should round up, to avoid HW rounding down. It's not
mandatory for SW to round down.

bcm2835_i2c_writel(i2c_dev, BCM2835_I2C_DIV, divider);
irq = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);
I think this would be better as:
if (divider < BCM2835_I2C_CDIV_MIN)
divider = BCM2835_I2C_CDIV_MIN;
if (divider & 1)
divider++;
if (divider > BCM2835_I2C_CDIV_MAX)
divider = BCM2835_I2C_CDIV_MAX;
