There's no other dependency. Feel free to take them into your tree.

Wow, that's a great spot!

I have tested the patch, but I don't have any i2c devices, so can't
test full functionality. I, wrongly it seems, assumed there would be
a complaint from the I2C subsystem if any of the values seemed wrong.
What I will do before next submission is print out the entire pdata
structure to ensure it's populated in the correct way.

Yes, makes sense.

Well it depends on how you interpret the comments in:
     include/linux/platform_data/i2c-nomadik.h

enum i2c_freq_mode {
        I2C_FREQ_MODE_STANDARD,         /* up to 100 Kb/s */
        I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST,             /* up to 400 Kb/s */
        I2C_FREQ_MODE_HIGH_SPEED,       /* up to 3.4 Mb/s */
        I2C_FREQ_MODE_FAST_PLUS,        /* up to 1 Mb/s */
};

I guess your guess would be better than mine.

Well, again by the comments above I would say that in between values
were valid, but I'm willing to bow down to your knowledge if you think
they are fixed values?

Thanks for reviewing.
