Sorry my misunderstanding.
The legacy register layout is mix master/slave register control together.
So will let confuse about register.
The following is add more detail description about new register layout.
And new feature set add for register.

-Add new clock divider option for more flexible and accurate clock rate generation
-Add tCKHighMin timing to guarantee SCL high pulse width.
-Add support dual pool buffer mode, split 32 bytes pool buffer of each device into 2 x 16 bytes for Tx and Rx individually.
-Increase DMA buffer size to 4096 bytes and support byte alignment.
-Re-define the base address of BUS1 ~ BUS16 and Pool buffer.
-Re-define registers for separating master and slave mode control.
-Support 4 individual DMA buffers for master Tx and Rx, slave Tx and Rx.

And following is new register set for package transfer sequence.
New Master operation mode: S -> Aw -> P {S: Start, Sr: Repeat Start, Aw/r: Address for write/read, P: Stop}.
New Master operation mode: S -> Aw -> TxD -> P
New Master operation mode: S -> Ar -> RxD -> P
New Slave  operation mode: S -> Aw -> RxD -> Sr -> Ar -> TxD -> P.
-Bus SDA lock auto-release capability for new master DMA command mode.
-Bus auto timeout for new master/slave DMA mode.

The following is two versus register layout.
Old:
{I2CD00}: Function Control Register     
{I2CD04}: Clock and AC Timing Control Register \#1  
{I2CD08}: Clock and AC Timing Control Register \#2 
{I2CD0C}: Interrupt Control Register   
{I2CD10}: Interrupt Status Register  
{I2CD14}: Command/Status Register     
{I2CD18}: Slave Device Address Register   
{I2CD1C}: Pool Buffer Control Register   
{I2CD20}: Transmit/Receive Byte Buffer Register 
{I2CD24}: DMA Mode Buffer Address Register  
{I2CD28}: DMA Transfer Length Register 
{I2CD2C}: Original DMA Mode Buffer Address Setting     
{I2CD30}: Original DMA Transfer Length Setting and Final Status  

New Register mode 
{I2CC00}: Master/Slave Function Control Register    
{I2CC04}: Master/Slave Clock and AC Timing Control Register  
{I2CC08}: Master/Slave Transmit/Receive Byte Buffer Register    
{I2CC0C}: Master/Slave Pool Buffer Control Register   
{I2CM10}: Master Interrupt Control Register       
{I2CM14}: Master Interrupt Status Register   
{I2CM18}: Master Command/Status Register 
{I2CM1C}: Master DMA Buffer Length Register   
{I2CS20}: Slave~ Interrupt Control Register        
{I2CS24}: Slave~ Interrupt Status Register          
{I2CS28}: Slave~ Command/Status Register          
{I2CS2C}: Slave~ DMA Buffer Length Register          
{I2CM30}: Master DMA Mode Tx Buffer Base Address     
{I2CM34}: Master DMA Mode Rx Buffer Base Address        
{I2CS38}: Slave~ DMA Mode Tx Buffer Base Address           
{I2CS3C}: Slave~ DMA Mode Rx Buffer Base Address        
{I2CS40}: Slave Device Address Register                  
{I2CM48}: Master DMA Length Status Register                 
{I2CS4C}: Slave  DMA Length Status Register              
{I2CC50}: Current DMA Operating Address Status           
{I2CC54}: Current DMA Operating Length  Status     

Sorry Krzysztof, I will add those in cover letter, it will more clear picture for review.
Thanks a lot.
