I am completely confused. Earlier you said that both Keem Bay and
Thunder bay had v1.02a DW AHB SSI IP-core:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/spi-devel-general/patch/20210824085856.12714-3-nandhini.srikandan@xxxxxxxxx/
Now you say they are based on the different versions of the core.
Please clarify.

You can add that patch to this series (better to the head of it). The
title can be something like: "spi: dw: Fix IP-core versions macro".
The tag needs to be added in the commit log above the Signed-off-by
tag.
