Hi Wolfram,
Yes I looked into those and the reason I added them as part of hw_feature inside driver are
1. property is in-terms of ns for fall time but the value we program in interface timing is not exact ns time
2. Below are the timing parameters need to be programmed for tegra I2C and I don't see equivalent property for each of those
     TSU_STA : Setup time for repeated START condition
     THD_STA : Hold time for (repeated) START condition
     TSU_STO : Setup time for STOP condition
     TBUF: Bus free time b/w STOP and START conditions
3. All above Timing configuration settings are different for different speed modes (STD/FM & FM+/HS Mode) 
4. All tegra platforms of specific Tegra chip has the same timing configuration at-least for now so added this info as part of hw feature inside the driver.
