Could it be the i2c input clock definition in drivers/mfd/intel-lpss-pci.c
is also wrong for Apollo Lake (N3450) ?  There are lots of people having
various issues with i2c attached touchpads on Apollo Lake devices, this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1728244

Is sort of a collection bug for these. Various models laptops, lots of
reporters. Note not sure thie is an i2c-designware issue, but it would
be good to double check the input clock on Apollo Lake.

I've checked the datasheet and the datasheet mentions 133MHz as
"serial input clk" in the lpio_bxt_regs Registers Summary, which is
also part of the LPSS, no clk is mentioned in the "Summary of
DW_apb_i2c_mem_map_DW_apb_i2c_addr_block1 Registers".
