It would be nice to summarize the clock frequency settings here.
Something like:

	/*
	 * The input clock is divided by the value specified in the
	 * device tree as clock-div. The actual bus speed is then
	 * derived from this frequency by the following formula:
	 *  ....

This would make it possible to verify your calculations below.

The comment will be:
/*
 * khz: I2C bus clock
 * hclk: The input clock is divided by the value specified in the 
 *       device tree as clock-div

and which one of the two clocks you're writing about is hclk now? I
assume the divided one.

 * div = (sample_cnt + 1) * (step_cnt + 1)
 * khz = (hclk / 2) / div

khz for the 2nd time.

 *
 * The calculation is to get div value that let result of 
 * ((hclk / 2) / div) most approach and less than khz
 */

I imagined something more hardware related. A list of register (or
register bit fields) that influence the frequency and a formula

	i2c_freq = parent_clk / clock-div * (...)

(It seems to be a bit more complicated here as there are two registers
involved that are set differently depending on the target frequency.)

+static int mtk_i2c_set_speed(struct mtk_i2c *i2c, unsigned int clk_src_in_hz)

clk_src_in_hz is the module's input rate already divided by clock-div.
This clock-div value is fixed in hardware and unchangeable, right?
Maybe give that divided clock a nice name?

The target frequency is i2c->speed_hz, so among the possible frequencies
we want to pick the highest one that is still less than or equal
i2c->speed_hz, right?

I just notice s/hign/high/ here.
