Please also update the bindings documentation under
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c.

With this core you need to add both aeroflexgaisler,i2cmst and
opencores,i2c-ocores to the compatible property, but the grlib variant
is NOT compatible with i2c-ocores, so that's not really nice.

Adding a type define (TYPE_OCORES / TYPE_GRLIB) and a 2nd of_device_id
entry with .data = TYPE_GRLIB, and then using that in the probe routine
would be nicer. Have a look at i2c-at91.c for an example of a driver
doing something like that.
