If that's specific enough, then yes. I meant that if say only the
omap3578 (making up numbers here) has errata i207, then define a
compatible string "ti,omap3578-i2c" that implies that and possibly other
flags.
To put it another way, there are only N valid combinations of flags and
N is probably fairly small as long as the flags are dictated by the i2c
h/w rev or how it was integrated into a particular SOC. So you should
have N compatible strings that reflect those valid combinations. The
driver can still use the flags internally.
For any flags that are in fact board level configuration, they should be
broken out as individual properties. Most of these sound like they are
properties of the h/w and not user configuration of the h/w.

After more thought, never mind. You'll probably need it for handling the
flags as I proposed above.
