90ad2cbe88c22d0215225ab9594eeead0eb24fde changed the i.MX I2C bus driver
to use a notifier whenever the base clock ("ipg" - 66 MHz peripheral
clock) rate changes.

Unfortunately one can't use the container_of() macro this way - the
first argument has to point to a member of the bigger struct (last
argument). Merely pointing to the same value isn't enough (the clk
variable which has its address passed to the macro is the clk in
notifier_block, not the one in imx_i2c_struct, even though both pointers
point to the same clk struct).

This bug causes kernel panic when the IPG clock rate changes (e.g. if
any clock derived from IPG changes).

I didn't look at the patch, but I suggest a Fixes: line here à la:

Fixes: 90ad2cbe88c2 ("i2c: imx: use clk notifier for rate changes")

Best regards

This reference should ideally be in a fixes-tag, below...
