V4L/DVB (4609): Improved i2c performance on software bitbang algoritm
Software I2C were using a very conservative value of udelay=16, meaning about
20Kbps. According with Philips I2C datasheet, the i2c should answer well for
times at the order of 4.7 us. So, using udelay=5 should work for all devices.
After this patch, the speed should be close to 66,67 Kbps, with the current
kernel software bitbang, with 30/60 duty cycle.
Anyway, added a new parameter (i2c_udelay) that would allow using conservative
values, if eventually a hardware doesn't support the datasheet values.
Thanks to Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for pointing this improvement.
