To be honest, both. Let me show how I gain additional control of the timing
with this patch while I can't do this w/o it.

I want the similar high percent of SCL high for both standard-mode and
fast-mode. Before this patch, this is not achievable because the parameters
to cal the hcnt/lcnt via i2c_dw_scl_hcnt() and i2c_dw_scl_lcnt() are different
for standard-mode and fast-mode.

Thanks,
Jisheng
