nit: a space before the "*" in the comment.

It feels like we should print some sort of warning here.  Maybe WARN_ONCE?

nit: The comment above should probably be next to the line below, not
to the line above it.

nit: above comment had the wrong style still

All of my comments are just nits and this appears to match the python
script I sent out exactly.  I guess that means you're happy with these
formulas now.  :)  Hopefully others (Max, Wolfram?) can take a look at
this now and see what they think.  It's definitely long but I think it
should give us the best numbers we can get (and most of the length is
all the comments).

Maybe you can send up a v4 that addresses nits?  After nits:

I've tested this on my rk3288 board and i2c still seems to work fine
at 400kHz.  I haven't scoped it myself, but I trust that you have.
