I have just looked briefly at the mpc8548 RM (covers mpc8543) and its i2c
controller looks the same as the qoriq's. I cannot however state if they are
100% compatible.

If we wanted to be on the safe side and strict (since we are not sure that the
hardware is 100% compatible), we maybe should add a fsl,qoriq-i2c compatible to
the driver that does the same as mpc8543-i2c.

From the mpc8544 RM, this controller looks the same as the above 2, except for
the prescaler from the driver which is set to 3. As to why it is only used in
the socrates.dts, I cannot comment about it.

The prescaler is confirmed to be 3 by default by the Table 3 of the AN-219 for
the mpc8544.

This is also interesting: from the AN-219 Table 4, some pq3 have a 2:1
(mcpc8536/43/45/47/48/67/68/72, plus p2020) prescaler where some don't
(mpc8533/44, where it can be 3:1 -default- or 2:1). However pq3-i2c-*.dtsi
defines no prescaler.

Now if I look at what files include these pq3-i2c-*.dtsi, I see some that are in
the the 2:1 list:
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8536si-post.dtsi
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8548si-post.dtsi
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8568si-post.dtsi
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572si-post.dtsi
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/p2020si-post.dtsi

I don't have any hardware to do some tests with these, but from my measurements
on our qoriq based system (P2041 SoC) I think that the generated I2C clocks for
the above SoC currently are not correct because of the ignored prescaler.
