650 = [(1000000000/100K) ns - min_low_ns_100k - min_high_ns_100k] / 2
300 = [(1000000000/300K) ns - min_low_ns_400k - min_high_ns_400k] / 2

if there is no extra 650 and 300:
extra_div is 3 in fast-mode and 11 in standard-mode.

1)if all of the "extra" is asssigned to the high part, the LOW period is too close to min_low.
In my test:
400k, scl_low_ns: 1440ns, scl_high_ns: 1120ns
100k, scl_low_ns: 4800ns, scl_high_ns: 5120ns

2)if not, dato hold time is too close to min_hold_time(400khz, 900ns)
In my test:
400k, scl_low_ns: 1760ns, scl_high_ns: 800ns
100k, scl_low_ns: 5304ns, scl_high_ns: 4368ns

hold_time_ns ~= scl_low_ns / 2 = 880ns

So I think we must decrease min_low_ns:min_high_ns to decrease scl_low in case 2

So I set the extra 650 and 300.

After this, in my test:
400k, scl_low_ns: 1600ns, scl_high_ns: 960ns
100k, scl_low_ns: 5200ns, scl_hign_ns: 4576ns

I think this value is more reasonable.

ps:
min_low_ns/min_high_ns > (min_low_ns + extra) / (min_high_ns + extra) (if min_low_ns > min_high_ns)

if all of the "extra" is asssigned to the high part, the LOW period is too close to min_low.
As shown in the above.

This patch is based on ../kernel/git/wsa/linux.git, master branch.
It is my mistake.
I will checkout for_next branch.
Thank you.
