Since not all devices support 400kHz, I would prefer that the default
be 100kHz. Also, it would be good if what speed the default is
consistent across i2c drivers.

Fine with me. I'll change this.

the usual complaint:  'clocks' items are not just phandles (your
example even suggests this); either adjust the description to
something correct, or just refer to the common clock bindings to
not duplicate their description

but I guess the I2C controller's binding should explicitly state
which clocks are required, and you might want to consider
'clock-names', too

is the value default a feature of the Linux implementation, or
consciously designed to be in the binding spec?  and I agree that
the default should be the standard I2C speed instead of fast mode

use lower case hex digits, consider symbolic identifiers for
clocks and interrupt flags

the example has many more properties than the binding describes,
the additional items aren't even optional -- you might want to
refer to a few more common or general bindings

I'll figure out something.

There is only one clock input. There is no need to overcomplicate things
by adding clock-names.

I remove the note regarding the default. It's implementation.

I don't care about the case of those hex digits, but where does it say
that they have to be lower case? Will somebody complain about usage of
lower case chars next?

Well, this is common across binding documentation. Can we please get
consistency in this? I see plenty of binding docs that are documented
this way, not mentioning much regarding such common properties.
