The behaviour is not identical here - we now unconditionally probe the
FIFO depth on all hardware, the difference with the quirk is that we
will ignore any DT property specifying the depth.

It's not obvious from just the code that we do handle having a FIFO
depth property and detection in the detection code, at least a comment
would be good.

It's not obvious to me that we should ignore an explicitly specified
property if the quirk is present - if anything I'd more expect to see
the new warning in that case, possibly with a higher severity if we're
saying that the quirk means we're more confident that the data reported
by the hardware is reliable. I think what I'd expect is that we always
use an explicitly specified depth (hopefully the user was specifying it
for a reason?).

Pulling all the above together can we just drop the quirk and always do
the detection, or leave the quirk as just controlling the severity with
which we log any difference between detected and explicitly configured
depths?
