We have 15+ boards with i2c connected and from this count I am aware about only 
one configuration which is not working on 400k.
It is a question if make sense to update all boards (except for 1 and not all in 
kernel yet) to 400k or just say 400k is default and if there is any issue use 
lower frequency.
Obviously this patch is setting up 400k as default and let "problematic" boards 
to setup lower freq.
The same approach was used for modepin description.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/arm64/boot/dts/xilinx/zynqmp.dtsi?h=v6.3&id=53ba1b2bdaf7f481fdd878e9c18cd0e54081fac9

The next point is that 100k is default in Linux but doesn't mean it is default 
in other projects.

But if you think that it must be board property I think we should setup 100k as 
default in this file too to make it clear.

Thanks,
