It was documented before -- this is just making it more explicit, right?

FWIW, the version number can be read out of a USB register, so I'd
rather remove the suggestion to specify the version number and
replace it with a reference to the ID register.
we have following two issues -
(a) our USBIP version register doesn't have consistent "version field
size" over multiple version(s). This is why we couldn't use it for
reading version info across various IP versions
(b) this register is not exposed in all SoC RMs (probably because of
above reason)
:-(

If this is just a problem with older chips, we could have a new compatible name
that designates the family of USB block versions with a sane version register.
we could have done...but we have a requirement to write version specific code...
for instance, usb controller init sequence has changes from version 2.5 onwards...
then there are version specific errata fixe(s) also. Hence we decided to go for
compatible string containing hw ip version (major no.) so that our workaround/code is
consistent with hw ip version(s) published in errata(s)

This example doesn't correspond to any device tree I see.  Even
after your next patch that sets t2080's USB to v2.5, the addresses are
different.

I reckon that the example emphasizes on showing how IP version
information is to be stored in "compatible string". Is it necessary to
make sure that we should always site actual values already used?
The more realistic the examples are, the better.
understood...we agree
