In theory, patch review should've never let the two differ... ;)

It's not my driver, so I fixed the perceived inconsistency the least
invasive way; Michal and Srikanth seemed to concur at the time.

In upstream, no. microblaze and virtex440 use a
xlnx,include-datawidth-matching-0 property as precedence for the
spelling, whereas there is an fsl,data-width and an unused msix-data-width.

Downstream, yes: Beyond my own patch derived from the Parallella tree,
there's some in the ADI tree. None in the Xilinx tree on quick check.

I haven't encountered any using the documented xlnx,data-width - but
this patch was authored pre 3.17, haven't ran a full Web search again.

Regards,
Andreas
