As far as i understood the major difference between the two modes are when the interrupt to trigger, as EOQ mode will trigger the interrupt at end of queue and TCF will trigger the interrupt at every frame transfer. Probably mode selection shouldn't be a device tree property, but i don't see any automatic way to choose between the modes. Maybe a config would be more appropriate?Or if there's either no particular reason to choose one over the other or one is always better then just pick one in the driver and don't worry about implementing both.
Among the two, EOQ would be better since with TCF, interrupts are generated at every frame transfer, which could be a problem at higher frequencies. I think we can omit this patch then.
