Only 1 version of it (ever)? Like other PL IP, it needs a version number 
(and not v1, v2, etc. made up by you). Really, your versioning scheme 
should be documented (like 
bindings/sifive/sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt), but Xilinx started 
versioning stuff some time back.

Also, 'master' is not considered great terminology nowadays. Perhaps the 
catalog name should be updated.
