Thanks Ryan. Can you shed some light on the meaning of the high-speed bit as well please ?

About ASPEED_I2CD_M_HIGH_SPEED_EN, it is support for I2C specification "High speed transfer". And also device need support it. 
If you just speed up the I2C bus clock, you don’t have to enable ASPEED_I2CD_M_HIGH_SPEED_EN, just change the clock is ok.

That smells like a specific enough use case that we should probably cover with a device-tree property, something like an empty "sda-extra-drive" property (empty properties are typically used for booleans, their presence means "true").

Thanks Ryan. Can you shed some light on the meaning of the high-speed bit as well please ? Does it force to a specific speed (ignoring the
divisor) or we can still play with the clock high/low counts ?

Cheers,
Ben.
