Thanks for the review.

Cannot this be inferred from compatible?

The compatible string currently encodes the version of the IP core. The FIFO depth is an orthogonal setting. You could of course encode both the version and FIFO depth as part of the compatible string. But you'd end up with a combinatorial explosion of compatible strings. Like

cdns,i2c-r1p10-fifo-depth-2, ... cdns,i2c-r1p10-fifo-depth-16, ..., cdns,i2c-r1p10-fifo-depth-256, cdns,i2c-r1p14-fifo-depth-2, ... cdns,i2c-r1p14-fifo-depth-16, ..., cdns,i2c-r1p14-fifo-depth-256,


Add the documentation for the devicetree property that describes the FIFO
depth of the IP core.

The default value of 16 is for backwards compatibility reasons with
existing hardware descriptions where this property is not specified and
software has assumed that the FIFO depth is 16.

Will add a enum, since it has to be a power of two.
