 clock-frequency property is meant to control the bus frequency for i2c bus
 drivers, but it was incorrectly used to specify i2c controller input clock
 frequency. So the following rules are set to fix this situation:
-- if clock-frequency is present and opencores,ip-clock-frequency is not,
-  then clock-frequency specifies i2c controller clock frequency. This is
-  to keep backwards compatibility with setups using old DTB. i2c bus
