I still think we should have a fallback compatible here, while we can't
discover the FIFO depths all the uses have a programmed trigger and we
know the minimum depth configurable in the IP so we can fall back to
using that. This would be useful for distro kernels, it's one less
thing that forces using a kernel with specific SoC support.
