Is it buggy, and if it is, what are the symptoms? And I'm not talking
about slow transfers here. Also, note that forcing the I2C/I3C rate
through the DT already means you want to tweak the bus speed (either
for debugging purposes or because slowing things down is needed to fix
a HW bug).

Yet, you might want to apply a lower I2C freq, and this sounds like a
valid case that doesn't deserve a dev_warn().

*up to*, that's the important thing to keep in mind. There's no problem
driving the SCL signal at a lower freq.

I'm not going to have this discussion again, sorry. I think I gave
enough arguments to explain why having an I2C SLC rate that's slower
than what I2C devices support is fine.

Same here. I'm fine having a dev_warn() when the rate is higher than
what's supported by devices present on the bus (because that case is
buggy), but not when it's lower and still in the valid range.
