s/calibrate/calibrated/

Does that mean the setup/hold time and timeouts should be adjusted based
on the i2c speed? (which we have not been doing?)

With all of your other reliability improvements, does *this* change
alone have any difference or impact on reliability?

I.e. if we go slower (stay at current speed) - would we be more reliable?

Is there a reliability improvement by making this speed faster?

I presume we don't have a way to convey the i2c bus speed between the
max9286 and the max9271 currently? Seems a bit like a bus parameter....
