I like the idea very much. Would this let us get rid of i2c-ixp2000?
i2c-ixp4xx? scx200_i2c? Other drivers?

What value will you get if the SDA pin is open-drain and currently in
output mode? Are such GPIO pins actually able to detect that the pin is
low while they are not themselves driving it low?

Actually, no, i2c-algo-bit has a 1/3-2/3 duty cycle, so a complete
cycle is 3 times the udelay value. So udelay=5 gives you 66 kHz. If
someone wants to fix that...

Also, I wouldn't recommend such a low value when SCL cannot be sensed,
if a slave stretches the line even very briefly, you won't notice and
havoc will ensue. udelay=50 sounds more reasonable for such half-baked
busses.

Add KERN_ERR or similar.

Would you mind also adding yourself to MAINTAINERS for this driver? I
would appreciate it.
