I checked the DT documentation of all i2c drivers. Just two include something similar
to what you request:

i2c-rcar.txt
no remark for property clock-frequency
i2c-scl-falling-time-ns: see i2c.txt

nvidia,tegra186-bpmp-i2c.txt
See ../i2c/i2c.txt for details of the core I2C binding.

So you request a comment like the one in the tegra driver documentation?

The supported properties as such don't change in the meson driver, only
clock-freqeuncy is supported as optional parameter.
The timing properties are parsed by the core call but they are not used by the
driver, so I don't think we are allowed to mention them in the documentation.
Else a reader of the documentation may expect that setting such a timing
parameter actually changes the behavior of the driver.
