We won't need to know FPGA version at all I think.

I do like that solution with a master clock but with some fine-tuning
for simplification.

We'll add master clock node for I2S as a fixed clock like that:
------------------->8------------------
i2s_master_clock: clk {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "fixed-clock";
clock-frequency = <27000000>;
};
------------------->8------------------

Note there's no mention of MB version, just a value of the frequency.
And in the driver itself value of that master clock will be used for
population of "pll_clk->ref_clk" directly.

These are benefits we'll get with that approach:
?[1] We escape any IOs not related to our clock device (I mean
? ? ?"snps,i2s-pll-clock") itself.
?[2] We'll use whatever reference clock value is given.
? ? ?I.e. we'll be able to do a fix-up of that reference clock
? ? ?value early in platform code depending on HW we're running on.
? ? ?That's what people do here and there.
?[3] Remember another clock driver for AXS10x board is right around
? ? ?the corner. I mean the one for ARC PGU which uses exactly the same
? ? ?master clock. So one fixup as mentioned above will work
? ? ?at once for 2 clock drivers.

Let me know if above makes sense.
