You are correct of course. Wording is incorrect. I wanted to highlight
that FIFO depth does not change for existing HW and still relies as
before on devicetree value.

I see. Will add comment or rework code to make more straight forward, or
both.

DT value isn't expected for compatibles with CQSPI_DETECT_FIFO_DEPTH
quirk, therefore we do not ignore a specified property. Bindings agree:
prop is false with EyeQ5 compatible.

The goal was a simpler devicetree on Mobileye platform. This is why we
add this behavior flag. You prefer the property to be always present?
This is a only a nice-to-have, you tell me what you prefer.

I wasn't sure all HW behaved in the same way wrt read-only bits in
SRAMPARTITION, and I do not have access to other platforms exploiting
this driver. This is why I kept behavior reserved for EyeQ5-integrated
IP block.

If we do not simplify devicetree, then I'd vote for dropping this patch
entirely. Adding code for detecting such an edge-case doesn't sound
useful. Especially since this kind of error should only occur to people
adding new hardware support; those probably do not need a nice
user-facing error message. What do you think?
