No. 83xx and 86xx also uses this file. But I am only unsure if mpc52xx
is OK with this extended delay. I guess they are but I don't have a
proof, or someone to confirm.

Yes. The max divider from sys clock to i2c clcok is 32K. i2c->real_clk
is the clock I2C controller pumps out, not its internal operation clock.

I don't have the name on top of my head. Is that linux-i2c at vger.kernel.org?
