Some SoC implementations that use this controller have a reduced pin
count so the meaning of "full" and "half" with change.
s/with/width/ ?
Yes will include in v2.

Maybe you should just state what the width is.

Specifying a number like 64/32/16 is done in for some other properties I 
dismissed that because what this is about how we interpret a 
pin-strapping option. I guess "max-width = <64>;" and "max-width = 
<32>"; would achieve the same.

Or your compatible string should just be specific enough to know the
width.
I decided against a new compatible sting that because the IP block 
really is the Armada-XP one and the existing compatible string is used 
in other places (using multiple compatible strings would solve that).

I'm not too fussed which of the 3 options are used. Is there any 
particular preference?
