Why show a message when the user has not requested a custom SDA hold
time? Getting a warning about something you haven't requested seems
really odd.

I think it makes a lot more sense to keep it at the warning level
(because it's important to get this message if you configure a custom
SDA hold time), but only show it when appropriate.

Best regards,

Thomas
