no, I don't think two values are needed, because first value can be
extrapolated from the second. Something like this:

	snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <4>, <8>, <16>, <32>;

This is basically telling us that we can support anything in this
list. So INCRBrstEna should be set to 1.

If DT, on the other hand, says:

	snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <32>;

this means that we can only support INCR32, so INCRBrstEna should be
cleared to 0.
