[PATCH 1/8] i3c: renesas: Fix zero I2C SCL rate on pure I3C buses

On a pure I3C bus there are no I2C devices, so the I3C core leaves
bus->scl_rate.i2c at zero if i2c-scl-hz is not specified in DT.
Deriving i2c_total_ticks from that zero rate programs a zero-width
open-drain SCL into the STDBR open-drain fields, which are still used
in pure I3C mode for example in DAA.

Fall back to the 1 MHz FM+ limit instead, the fastest rate an I2C
device could have, so that a sane open-drain timing is programmed.
