So how does this RCW bit get evaluated? According to the reference
manual only one clock goes to the i2c module (described as 1/2 Platform
Clock) and the i2c module only takes one clock. So it seems there must
be a /2 divider somewhere, either in each i2c module or somewhere
outside. Can your IC guys tell you where it is?

One reason I suggested the clock driver is that the clock driver
contains SoC specific code already, so it should be easier to integrate
there.
