Let other expert suggest if pass from DTSI or hardcode here. because 
this let all other controller drivers to make change. I request to 
conclude on discussion, i kept my point in earlier patch.

Expect some discussion or conclusion from other experts if need to hard 
code these coefficient or pass from DTSI. if core can read like existing 
i2c_parse_fw_timings(), it would become generic to every i2c adapter driver.
