I studied 'clock-frequency' usage of existing i2c drivers before working 
on this patch.

i2c-ibm_iic.c, i2c-mpc.c, i2c-ocores.c : use as bus clock frequency 
input to the core.

i2c-cpm.c : use as i2c SCL output frequency.

Most other non-i2c drivers use clock-frequency as bus clock frequency 
input, too.

I think the SCL freq usage in i2c-cpm.c is confusing. So I would suggest 
we borrow 'speed-hz' from spi subsystem, which means the clock freq 
output on the peripheral bus.

Best regards,
Thomas
