[PATCH v3] i2c: omap: improve duty cycle on SCL

With this patch we try to be as close to 50%
duty cycle as possible. The reason for this
is that some devices present an erratic behavior
with certain duty cycles.

One such example is TPS65218 PMIC which fails
to change voltages when running @ 400kHz and
duty cycle is lower than 34%.

The idea of the patch is simple:

calculate desired scl_period from requested scl
and use 50% for tLow and 50% for tHigh.

tLow is calculated with a DIV_ROUND_UP() to make
sure it's slightly higher than tHigh and to make
sure that we end up within I2C specifications.

Kudos to Nishanth Menon and Dave Gerlach for helping
debugging the TPS65218 problem found on AM437x SK.

Changes since v2:
	- use NSEC_PER_SEC from time.h
	- Fix 19.2MHz (it was missing one 0)

Changes since v1:
	- Fix for dev->speed which is in kHz, rather than Hz

ps: if there are any extra comments, I'll wait a couple days before resending
to avoid spamming the list.
