V4L/DVB (4609): Improved i2c performance on software bitbang algoritm
Software I2C were using a very conservative value of udelay=16, meaning about 20Kbps. According with Philips I2C datasheet, the i2c should answer well for times at the order of 4.7 us. So, using udelay=5 should work for all devices. After this patch, the speed should be close to 66,67 Kbps, with the current kernel software bitbang, with 30/60 duty cycle. Anyway, added a new parameter (i2c_udelay) that would allow using conservative values, if eventually a hardware doesn't support the datasheet values. Thanks to Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for pointing this improvement. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
