So?  clock-frequency is a per-node property.  I use it in the codec node on the
8610 (mpc8610_hpcd.dts).  It does not mean "platform clock frequency".

This is just more complicated than it needs to be.  Why should the I2C driver
fetch the platform clock and the divider from the parent node, and then do
additional math, when it could just get the value it needs right from the node
it's probing?

Besides, U-Boot does not currently store the divider value.  Look at the code
I've posted twice already - it stores the frequency in i2c1_clk.  So now I would
need to create another variable in the gd_t to store the divider?  No thanks.
