Yeah, the assumption would have been that i2c-gpio is configured as the
same speed as the master under test. However, ...

... I changed the user API meanwhile. The value you write is the value
used for this delay. Because 'number of interfered arbitrations' is
vague anyhow. Because of latencies, interrupts sometimes trigger twice
per interference, so this number becomes meaningless.

Because all other users (even WO) have that still set, I prefer
consistency here.
Will send out next version, including panic-fault-injector, hopefully
today.
