"2021_R2" refers to the compatible tool version used for > creating the FPGAIP Core. If you have version registers in these IPs, what benefit does version numbers in the compatible string bring? Rather than using the version numbers to validate what the DT gave you, which not the kernel's job IMO, why not just use the information from the register to determine the version? Cheers, Conor.
