Where can I change this time? Can you please provide example of some
device/device tree?

What Vil threshold? I checked the power supply to this device and it
is ~3.3 V as expected.

The device is fine, I am sure about it. As the device provides data on
USART as well and I am getting it.

Its a GPS sensor(still under development) .Logic Analyser gives NACK
on the given address.
I may be using the wrong pull ups value which i am checking.But from
software point of view is there a Device tree setting to enable the
internal pull ups or adjust the rise/fall time as said above.
Read a little about the i2c protocol and check the signal levels of the i2c lines.
In my experience you can understand the problem by just looking at the signal levels if understand a little bit of i2c protocol.
Use the digital and analogue parts of you logic analyser.
