The driver shouldn't know the CPU type but just the IP type/version.
We can definitely have "fsl,imx23-i2c" and "fsl,imx28-i2c" compatible
strings for iMX23 and iMX28 respectively if the I2C controller on these
two SoC differs on the IP inside aspects.  But we shouldn't do that
for IO region, interrupt number, DMA channel such differences at SoC
integration level.
