The confusion comes from the fact that the device tree bindings uses
clock-frequency for the clock frequency of the IP core and NOT for the
i2c bus frequency. This dates back to when the bindings where added
(049bb69d82e5f7f356) :/

The driver is currently hardcoded to use a 100KHz i2c bus clock (see
ocoores_init()).
