Yes, as I know your require is about " DT binding to represent hardware setup"
So I add more description about aspeed,timeout as blow.

ASPEED SOC chip is server product, i2c bus may have fingerprint connect to another board. And also support hotplug.
The following is board-specific design example.
Board A                                         Board B
-------------------------                       ------------------------
|i2c bus#1(master/slave)  <===fingerprint ===> i2c bus#x (master/slave)|
|i2c bus#2(master)-> tmp i2c device |          |                       |
|i2c bus#3(master)-> adc i2c device |          |                       |
-------------------------                       ------------------------

aspeed,timout properites:
For example I2C controller as slave mode, and suddenly disconnected.
Slave state machine will keep waiting for master clock in for rx/tx transmit.
So it need timeout setting to enable timeout unlock controller state.
And in another side. In Master side also need avoid suddenly slave miss(un-plug), Master will timeout and release the SDA/SCL.

Do you mean add those description into ore aspeed,timout properites description?

Sorry, I can't catch your "one string" point.
Could you point me what ref I can refer to?
That I can check into Linux example. Thanks a lot.

Does modify by following? 

allOf:
 -if:
   properties:
    compatible:
      contains:
        const: aspeed,ast2600-i2cv2

 then:
  properties:
    reg:
      minItems: 2
  required:
    - aspeed,global-regs
 else:
    - aspeed,global-regs: false
    -aspeed,timeout: false
    - aspeed,xfer-mode: false
