Actually, we appear to have our wires crossed. You wrote the board data
stuff below, which changes the mode from STANDARD to FAST, no doubt
using Srinidhi's struct explanation comments found in
arch/arm/plat-nomadik/include/plat/i2c.h.

Cool, thanks Linus.

But you're correct in what you say Linus. Srinidhi, the comments which
are you say are confusing are the bits you are the author of:
e208c447bd728920e4f3d438a706344ea31249b9?
