The Atmel/Microchip EC508A is a I2C device that could be wired into any platform, and is being used on the Linaro/96boards Secure96 mezzanine adapter. This means it could be found on any platform, even on ones that use ACPI enumeration (via PRP0001 devices). So update the code to enable this use case. This involves tweaking the bus rate discovery code to take ACPI probing into account, which records the maximum bus rate as a property of the slave device. For the atmel-ecc code, this means that the effective bus rate should never exceed the maximum rate, unless we are dealing with buggy firmware. Nonetheless, let's just use the existing plumbing to discover the bus rate and keep the existing logic intact.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
