I'm not arguing the patch here. I haven't even mentioned a single
line from the code. I made a simple question and you keep
hammering on the same argument: in the commit message you say
that when the clock changes it generates a deadlock through
i2c_xfer. I simply asked if the clock changes how is the new
clock value taken by the i2c?

If the commit message is leaving room for questions then you need
to make your commit message clearer.
