 It is set at whatever frequency the dts set it and if there is no
frequency in the dts it fallback to 100Khz.
 twsi needs to support IICBUS_GET_FREQUENCY though, the main reason I
never really touched twsi is because the same driver is used on Marvell
SoC with hackish support for the clocks. Now that I have a Marvell
board with this i2c controller I'll probably rewrite this driver.
