Or using some omap3-i2c or omap4-i2c to determine the proper version and

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.
Yes, indeed, I got the point. This is even much better for the
implementation standpoint. The whole stuff is located inside the driver
where it should belong.

This is redundant. The ip version can be determined from the compatible
string.
I'm confused...
I'm using the compatible string below to chose the proper value.
This flag is then used later at runtime.
I'm using a pseudo pdata because that driver is still used in old
platform that does and will never not have DT support.
After more thought, never mind. You'll probably need it for handling the
flags as I proposed above.
Yes, I'm taking advantage of the existing pdata structure to provide the
proper flags.
Thanks for that feedback,
Benoit
