Sounds good to me. Thanks for the advise.

I think the WARN_ON() is too evasive on the screen and won't provide the 
information we want.
The dev_warn() should work perfectly here.

		if (i3cbus->scl_rate.i3c < i3cbus->scl_rate.i2c)
			dev_warn(&i3cbus->cur_master->dev->dev,
				     "%s: i3c-scl-hz lower then i2c-scl-hz\n",  __func__);
		if (i3cbus->scl_rate.i2c != I3C_BUS_I2C_FM_SCL_RATE ||
		    i3cbus->scl_rate.i2c != I3C_BUS_I2C_FM_PLUS_SCL_RATE)
			dev_warn(&i3cbus->cur_master->dev->dev,
				     "%s: i2c-scl-hz not defined according MIPI I3C spec\n", 
				     __func__);

Maybe it make more sense to do this check on of_populate_i3c_bus(), what 
do you think?
