* Support multi slave functionality
* And fix a bug in the core frequency
[Fix]
* Sync up the current i2c-mlx.c driver with the upstreamed version
* Add logic to the slave functions to support multi slave functionality
* Make core frequency more accurate
[Test Case]
* I2C driver is loaded for each bus on BlueWhale and BlueSphere.
* Tested I2C driver via IPMB. Send/Receive transactions to/from BMC.
