Those are registers from the SoC, their position varies depending on
the SoC.

Even if the position was fixed, I'm pretty sure another register set is
needed. It is not a new property.

DW_IC_SDA_HOLD doesn't exist in this version of the IP. It is replaced
by this SoC specific register.

It is SoC specific.
