i2c-tiny-usb: Fix a comment on bus frequency
The description of the delay parameter is incomplete, it suggests that there is a direct relation between the delay value and the bus frequency. In fact, due to additional delays in the i2c bitbanging code, the i2c clock is always much slower. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Till Harbaum <Till@Harbaum.org>
