That is why there are *CNT methods for all supported I2C modes:
- SSCN() - returns for standard mode (100kHz)
- FMCN() - returns for fast mode (400kHz)
- FPCN() - returns for fast mode+ (1MHz)
for High-speed mode I'm not sure what the method name is ;-)
Then the Windows driver switches between those based on what the
ConnectionSpeed is in the ACPI I2C connector.
