A new version number is added when a there was some change in the IP
like adding a internal mux to the IP, adding multi channel support,
adding reset control bit. This was done in the older code with
platform device.

compatible name like "samsung,i2s-v6" with new quirk
"samsung,supports-tdm" is okey?

I will mention about this versioning info in the Documentation in the
next patch.
