Ugh.  This is specifically related to the i2c device, so please place
the property in the i2c device.  Remember, device tree design is not
about what will make the implementation simplest, but rather about what
describes the hardware in the best way.

Now, if you can argue that i2c-clock-frequency is actually a separate
clock domain defined at the SoC level, not the i2c device level, then I
will change my opinion.
