Current BRCR computation is:
brcr = floor(i2cclk / (clkfreq * div))
With brcr: "baud rate counter", an internal clock divider,
and i2cclk: input clock rate (24MHz, 38.4MHz or 48MHz),
and clkfreq: desired bus rate,
and div: speed-mode dependent divider (2 for standard, 3 otherwise).
Assume i2cclk=48MHz, clkfreq=3.4MHz, div=3,
then brcr = floor(48MHz / (3.4MHz * 3)) = 4
and resulting bus rate = 48MHz / (4 * 3) = 4MHz
Assume i2cclk=38.4MHz, clkfreq=1.0MHz, div=3,
then brcr = floor(38.4MHz / (1.0MHz * 3)) = 12
and resulting bus rate = 38.4MHz / (12 * 3) = 1066kHz
The current computation means we always pick the smallest divider that
gives a bus rate above target. We should instead pick the largest
divider that gives a bus rate below target, using:
brcr = floor(i2cclk / (clkfreq * div)) + 1
If we redo the above examples:
Assume i2cclk=48MHz, clkfreq=3.4MHz, div=3,
then brcr = floor(48MHz / (3.4MHz * 3)) + 1 = 5
and resulting bus rate = 48MHz / (5 * 3) = 3.2MHz
Assume i2cclk=38.4MHz, clkfreq=1.0MHz, div=3,
then brcr = floor(38.4MHz / (1.0MHz * 3)) + 1 = 13
and resulting bus rate = 38.4MHz / (13 * 3) = 985kHz
This is much less of an issue with slower bus rates (ie those currently
supported), because the gap from one divider to the next is much
smaller. It however keeps us from always using bus rates superior to
the target.
This fix is required for later on supporting faster bus rates:
I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST_PLUS (1MHz) and I2C_FREQ_MODE_HIGH_SPEED (3.4MHz).
