When the I2C controller IP block has a revision too old to be able to
configure the SDA hold time, the driver currently displays a

warnings when running the system, so only show the warning if a SDA
hold time was specified.

As far as I understand the warning it would be better to keep it in
either way, though you may shift it to debug level.

Wolfram, Jarkko, thoughts?

Why show a message when the user has not requested a custom SDA hold
time? Getting a warning about something you haven't requested seems
really odd.

I think it makes a lot more sense to keep it at the warning level
(because it's important to get this message if you configure a custom
SDA hold time), but only show it when appropriate.

I guess warning over debug level could have slightly better chance to prevent someone not adding needless "i2c-sda-hold-time-ns" property in a hardware that doesn't support SDA hold time. But needless spamming have negative value so this is worth to fix. (I would do this as a single liner by else if ()).
