Thanks!

It depends on Brendan's clock divisor calculation fix, which appears to
be in for-next but not for-current:

    87b59ff8d1d9 i2c: aspeed: add proper support fo 24xx clock params

I'd argue that Brendan's patch should go in for-current as well,
because it fixes a divisor rounding error for the ast2500 (bus is
clocked faster than requested).

Cheers,

Andrew
