The intermediate value will indeed not fit in 32-bit.
But that doesn't mean the end result won't fit in 32-bit.
As you divide spec->min_low_ns and spec->min_su_dat_ns (which I assume
are small numbers) by sample_ns below, sample_ns cannot be very large,
or the quotient will be zero anyway.
So just doing the multiplication in 64-bit, followed by a 64-by-32
division is probably fine:

    unsigned int sample_ns = div_u64(1000000000ULL * (sample_cnt + 1), clk_src);

You may want to take precautions for the case where the passed value of
clk_src is a small number (can that happen?).

BTW, clk_get_rate() returns "unsigned long", while mtk_i2c_set_speed()
takes an "unsigned int" parent_clk, which may cause future issues.
You may want to change that to "unsigned long", along the whole
propagation path, and use div64_ul() instead of div_u64() above.

That may cause too much loss of precision.
