What about making a device-tree property?

Recommended properties:
 - g-ahb-bursts : specifies the ahb bursts length, should be one of
   "single", "INCRx", "INCR4", "INCR8", or "INCR16". If not specified
   the safer but inefficient "INCR4" is used. The optimal setting is
   "INCRx".

Would this work? If so, I can make a patch over the weekend.

Ah, let me explain. I had a discussion with Mark Rutland and Rob Herring
a while back about device-tree bindings.

They made it very clear to me, that they don't want any generic "catch all
compatible" strings:

"Bindings should be for hardware (either specific device models, or for
classes), and not for Linux drivers. The latter is subject to arbitrary
changes while the former is not, as old hardware continues to exist and
does not change while drivers get completely reworked." [0]

Furthermore, this is an existing binding in kernel's canyonlands.dts [1]
and this binding can't be easily changed. Rob Herring explained this in
the context of the "basic-mmio-gpio" patch [2] when I was editing the dts
to make them work with the changes I made:

"You can't remove the old drivers as they are needed to work with 
old dtbs, so there is no gain.

You would need to match on existing compatibles such as
moxa,moxart-gpio and provide a match data struct that has all the info
you are adding here (e.g. data register offset). Then additionally you
could add "basic-mmio-gpio" (I would drop "basic" part) and the
additional data associated with it. But it has to be new properties,
not changing properties. Changing the reg values doesn't work."

So, for this to work with the existing canyonlands.dts, I need to have
the "amcc,dwc-otg" compatible string.

Of course, it would be great to hear from Rob Herring and/or Mark Rutland
about this case.

Regards,
Christian
