Hi, Balbi,
Below is the definition for this property,
snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <x>, <y>
x: Undefined Length INCR Burst Type Enable (INCRBrstEna)
    0 - INCRX burst mode (not enable INCRBrstEna)
    1 - INCR (undefined length) burst mode (enable INCRBrstEna)
y: the burst length

1> if x = 0: means INCRBrstEna not enabled, set bit0 to zero (or clear it) , we select one of INCR1/INCR4/INCR8/INCR16/INCR32/INCR64/INCR128/INCR256 (pass this value through "y")to set the fix burst length controller supported.
For example:
snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <0>, <16>
driver will set bit0 to zero and set bit3 to 1 (INCR16 Burst Type Enabled), controller will use INCR16 (with 16 bytes) to transfer data.

2> if x = 1: means INCRBrstEna enabled, we select one of INCR4/INCR8/INCR16/INCR32/INCR64/INCR128/INCR256 (pass this value through "y") to set the burst length, and controller will use any length less than or equal to that we selected.
For example:
snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <1>, <32>
driver will set bit0 to 1 and set bit4 to 1 (INCR32 Burst Type Enabled), controller will use any burst length less than (such as 4, 8, 16 byte) or equal to 32 byte to transfer data.

Therefore, I think this two fileds are needed. Do you think about it?
