two completely separate IP cores, that:

 * are mapped to the same MMIO space; but
 * both happen to be I2C controllers.

- where the single "global register" (which you mention above) provides
the facility to mux the MMIO mapping between the two. Some versions of
the overall SoC have only the old core, some have only the new, and some
have both, selectable via this register.

Ryan, can you confirm whether this is the case?

Given there are actual behavioural differences between the two
peripherals - beyond just the register set - that would seem to indicate
separate binding types (+ a syscon mux control) to me, but I'm keen to
hear any other options.

Krzysztof, if that is the case, any thoughts on the representation of
separate bindings?

Cheers,


Jeremy
