Hi Rob,

In the commit be5ce0e97cc7 ("i2c: mediatek: Add i2c ac-timing adjust
support"), the I2C timing calculation has been revised to support
ac-timing adjustment.But in our design, it will make
tSU,STA/tHD,STA/tSU,STO shorter when the slave device have
clock-stretching feature.
Then we upload the commit a80f24945fcf ("i2c: mediatek: Use
scl_int_delay_ns to compensate clock-stretching") to support adjusting
tSU,STA/tHD,STA/tSU,STO when the slave device clock-stretching. But if
the slave device stretch the SCL line for too long time, our design
still cannot make tSU,STA/tHD,STA/tSU,STO meet spec.
However in the old (default) timing algorithm before the commit
be5ce0e97cc7 ("i2c: mediatek: Add i2c ac-timing adjust support"),
tSU,STA/tHD,STA/tSU,STO can meet spec. So we want to define a new
setting "default-adjust-timing" for using the old (default) timing
algorithm.

thanks
