Hello!
I looked through your driver and have some comments.

Why do you need this dependency? I'm assuming this IP has usefulness
outside of microblaze and Zynq.

Odd indention here. At least indent this paragraph like the sentence
above.

Looks like a very subtle off-by-one error here. (And elsewhere you use
this pattern).
