 yeah right

I guess as the amba bus and the other IP also is faster so the time spend to
change the state of the pio differ for a chip to an other

and we can not fix it easly so I do think it will be better to pass the speed
of the bus that we want from the board and then calcualte it depending on the
SOC

as we will only have this issue when using bitbanging but we can do the same
for hardware i2c
