Optional properties:
+- clock-frequency : frequency of bus clock in Hz; see the note below.
+ Defaults to 100 KHz when the property is not specified
- reg-shift : device register offsets are shifted by this value
- reg-io-width : io register width in bytes (1, 2 or 4)
- regstep : deprecated, use reg-shift above
+Note
+clock-frequency property is meant to control the bus frequency for i2c bus
+drivers, but it was incorrectly used to specify i2c controller input clock
+frequency. So the following rules are set to fix this situation:
+- if clock-frequency is present and opencores,ip-clock-frequency is not,
+ then clock-frequency specifies i2c controller clock frequency. This is
+ to keep backwards compatibility with setups using old DTB. i2c bus
+ frequency is fixed at 100 KHz.
+- if opencores,ip-clock-frequency is present it specifies i2c controller
+ clock frequency. clock-frequency property specifies i2c bus frequency.
