NIT: flags is a bitmask, so i2c->flags & OCORES_FLAG_BROKEN_IRQ would be
better, even if there currently doesn't exist any other flags.

TYPE_SIFIVE_REV0 is also set for two compatibles:

        {
                .compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-i2c",
                .data = (void *)TYPE_SIFIVE_REV0,
        },
        {
                .compatible = "sifive,i2c0",
                .data = (void *)TYPE_SIFIVE_REV0,
        },

Are both affected by this issue? if not, we will need to extend the code
to handle them differently.

Other than that, it looks OK to me.
