No, we do not have any way to do this at the moment. But I2C bus speed
is a tricky affair to start with. Not taking HS-I2C into account for a
moment, the I2C bus speed is a bus-wide setting, not a per-chip
setting, so letting each I2C chip driver change the bus speed doesn't
make sense. The I2C bus speed must be set once and for all according to
which devices are present on the bus (which is something only the
system designer knows.)
