high_ns calculated from the low division of CLKDIV register is the sum
of actual measured high_ns and rise_ns. The rise time which related to
external pull-up resistor can be up to the maximum rise time in I2C spec.

In my test, if external pull-up resistor is 4.7K, rise_ns is about
700ns. So the actual measured high_ns is about 3900ns, which is less
than 4000ns(the minimum high_ns in I2C spec).

To fix this bug, min_low_ns should include fall time and min_high_ns
should include rise time too.

This patch merged the patch that Doug submitted to chromium, which
can get the rise and fall times for signals from the device tree.
This allows us to more accurately calculate timings. see:

This looks good to me.  Thank you for spinning.

We already have those bindings from the designware driver:

 - i2c-sda-hold-time-ns : should contain the SDA hold time in nanoseconds.
 - i2c-scl-falling-time : should contain the SCL falling time in nanoseconds.
 - i2c-sda-falling-time : should contain the SDA falling time in nanoseconds.

Can you reuse them? Or do you really need a specific rise-time property?
If so, please matche the style of the bindings above.

Ah, doh!  I should have thought to look for existing bindings.  Sorry
about that.  :(

If you don't read all the below, my belief is that we should simply
rename the strings in Addy's patch.  We should change "rise-ns" to
"i2c-scl-rising-time" and "fall-ns" to "i2c-scl-falling-time".
Wolfram: can you confirm this is OK?  I'm voting to leave the "-ns"
off the end of both to avoid asymmetry.

---

Details:

Hrm, we seem to need different parameters than designware i2c.  The
designware bus is specifying "i2c-sda-hold-time-ns".  On Rockchip i2c
we specify just the number of cycles that the clk line should be high
and the number of cycles that it should be low.  The adapter does the
rest of the work.  As I understand it, the data hold time on Rockchip
i2c is equal to half the low time, for instance.  That was indicated
by Addy who talked to the IC engineer.

Because of the above, I _think_ that means that specifying
"i2c-sda-hold-time-ns" is not appropriate for us, or at least not easy
to convert in a sane way.

We could add a "i2c-scl-hold-time-ns", but if I understand correctly I
think that the "rise-time" describes the hardware in a cleaner way.
If you specify the hold time then (I think) that it requires the user
to tweak it whenever he/she adjusts the bus speed.  In other words if
you have a bus and you decide to move it from running at 400kHz to
running at 300kHz (signal integrity issues?) or 100kHz, you need to
manually modify the hold time.  ...on the other hand the rise time is
a property of the hardware I think (size of resistor, etc).

For the falling times I guess we should use the "i2c-scl-falling-time"
and not list the "i2c-sda-falling-time" for now?  As per above the
controller takes in the high/low period of the clocks and figures out
the rest itself.  Possibly we will need to account for
i2c-sda-falling-time eventually, but maybe that can come later?

New binding should have the "-ns" suffix, right? So, I'd vote to add the
suffix to the new bindings and deprecate the ones used in the designware
driver: "i2c-scl-rising-time-ns" and "i2c-scl-falling-time-ns"

It might be a little more work now, but it will help us in the future,
because it is the correct way to do it.

OK, that sounds fair.  You're OK with my proposal otherwise?

Are you looking for Addy or me to submit a patch supporting the "-ns"
suffix on the Designware i2c driver, or should we just use the "-ns"
suffix in the Rockchip driver and assume someone will later add
support for the new binding in the Designware i2c driver?

I'd be really happy if you can do it. I'd love to have consistency right
away.

OK, for simplicity I put my requested changes in
