( you wrote "i2c-scl-falling-time-ns" above, didn't you mean
"i2c-scl-internal-delay-ns" instead? )

Not yet, and I wonder if there can be one. In I2C (not SMBus), devices
are allowed to stretch the clock as long as they want, so what should be
specified here?

I suggesteed "internal-delay" because AFAIU your hardware needs this
delay to be able to cope with clock stretching.

Do you mean "i2c-scl-falling-time-ns" or "i2c-scl-internal-delay-ns"?
