On the SA8255P platform there is no Linux clock handler for the SE source

somewhere it's 32 MHz also and this may change too ?
19.2 MHz is just the frequency currently requested by the I2C driver.

Other frequencies such as 32 MHz are also supported and may change in the future.

counter values programmed by qcom_geni_i2c_conf().

Call geni_se_set_rate() directly from qcom_geni_i2c_conf() so the
configured frequency is applied to the correct device (the perf domain
device on the firmware-managed path, or se->dev otherwise) without the I2C
driver needing to know which resources_init() variant is in use.

Drop the now-unused set_rate field from struct geni_i2c_desc, the
geni_se_set_perf_opp() usage on the SA8255P variant, and the unused freq
parameter from qcom_geni_i2c_conf().

hard code ?
Good point. The 19.2 MHz value is not intended to be a permanent limitation.
This matches the frequency currently used by the I2C driver and therefore preserves
the existing behavior. If support for higher source clock frequencies (e.g. 32 MHz or others)
is added in the future, the requested OPP/performance state will need to be updated accordingly.
May work currently, but if higher frequency support added, source may change.

Also you have added in commit message, but add a comment also here.
