I updated the device_id table into two logically separated patches as follows:-

1. Update device id table for Sifive devices
    [PATCH v3 2/3] i2c-ocore:
                  .data for sifive,fu540-540-c000 and sifive,i2c0 both
are for sifive devices hence TYPE_SIFIVE_REV0
2. Add polling mode workaround fix for fu540-c000 SoC
    [PATCH v3 3/3] i2c-ocores:
                  .data for sifive,fu540-540-c000 is of
TYPE_SIFIVE_REV0 and has a broken IRQ so the flag
OCORES_FLAG_BROKEN_IRQ is OR'd to data into device id table.

Please let me know if you feel patch 2 and patch 3 need to be squashed
together into a single patch.

Other SiFive chip's with Ocore based I2C re-implementation might not
need the broken IRQ workaround.
and can use the the existing mainline polling mode interface, using
OCORES_FLAG_POLL.
