fsl5200-clocking is used to set FSL_I2C_DEV_CLOCK_5200

	} else if (i2c->flags & FSL_I2C_DEV_CLOCK_5200)
		writeb(0x3f, i2c->base + MPC_I2C_FDR);
	else
		writel(0x1031, i2c->base + MPC_I2C_FDR);

I can change it to remove fsl5200-clocking if someone can tell me if
this is only needed on the mpc5200b. This driver also supports the
MPC107/Tsi107/MPC8240/MPC8245 and           MPC85xx/MPC8641. Do any of
these other chips need fsl5200-clocking?
