U-boot could pass in "bus-frequency" to let software know the speed of the I2C bus from Linux. Seems like a standard property for bus nodes.
clock-frequency is standard, though it should probably be the input frequency rather than the bus frequency, in case the OS really does want to change it (maybe making the bus run faster when accessing faster devices).
There could be a "current-speed" property that tells linux to keep the registers the same,
That would be a bit different from the way it's used in serial nodes, where current-speed is simply a description of the baud rate that corresponds to the current divider setting. I'm not sure that it makes as much sense for i2c, as you don't have the shared state on the other end that depends on maintaining the exact same speed.
When does the guest really care what the specific i2c bus frequency is, if it's not going to change it?
