We add these properties to describe the IP configuration + we have the
version indicator in the compatible string. Do we really need both? It
seems that all versions use the same driver and differentiation is made
through the DT properties that describe the IP configuration parameters.
Wouldn't it be better to just have one generic 'xlnx,axi-usb2' (or
whatever) compatible string instead of patching the driver for each new
version without really needing to differentiate the IP versions through
it?
