Digging deeper I'm frightened by plenty of platform specific code. We 
would need:

- one table of divider,fdr,dfsr values for the MPC82/3/5/6xx processors
   (already available from Timur's U-Boot implementation)

- one table of divider,fdr values for the MPC5200 rev A.

- one table of divider,fdr values for the MPC5200 rev B.
   (the Rev. B has two more pre-scaler bits).

- furthermore, there are various mpc-specific I2C clock sources:

   MPC82xx                     : fsl_get_sys_freq()
   MPC5200                     : IPB
   MPC83xx                     : fsl_get_sys_freq()
   MPC8540/41/60/55,MPC8610    : fsl_get_sys_freq()
   MPC8543/45/47/48/68, MPC8641: fsl_get_sys_freq()/2
   MPC8544                     : fsl_get_sys_freq()/2 or /3

   It would make sense to hand-over the I2C frequency from U-Boot to
   Linux.

Wolfgang.
