This definitely needs two compatible tags.  The v1.1.1 supports the FIFO, block,
and data mover modes.  The v2.2.1 supports FIFO, block, and BAM DMA.

The BAM patches are currently in review and ideally BAM support can be added to
the I2C.  We'll need a way to differentiate so BAM can be used.

Otherwise, the register interfaces are interchangeable except for BAM specific
fields in the registers.
