Hmm, this does not match with what the Allwinner datasheets say:
https://github.com/allwinner-zh/documents/blob/master/A20/A20%20user%20manual%20v1.3%2020141010.pdf

They say:

Fsamp = F 0 = Fin / 2^CLK_N
F1 = F0 / (CLK_M + 1)
Foscl = F1 / 10 = Fin / (2^CLK_N * (CLK_M + 1)*10)

With Foscl being the ultimate i2c speed. Notice that they are talking about
2 ^ CLK_N not 2 ^ (CLK_N + 1)

And they have a few examples which match this. Now it could be that a
register value of 0 means CLK_N = 1, reg 1 CLK_N = 2, etc. this is not clearly
specified ...

Interesting, because on Allwinnner / sunxi devices we are using the kernel
driver formula unmodified, and things seem to work fine despite this. Could
be tolerances allowing this, could be the Allwinner datasheet being unclear.

I've send allwinner a mail asking them to clarify this.

So I take it you connected a memory oscilloscope to the i2c wires ?

Regards,

Hans
