Are these completely separate IPs or are they just different versions of
the same IP?

These are same IPs , but different features Enabled/Disabled depends upon the SoC vendors.

for e.g: Intel LGM SoC uses the same IP, but without DMA and Direct access controller.

also dedicated support to flash devices.
