If you don't document them, checkpatch will complain. But if you can live with
this warning, that's fine by me.

H6 has IR TX peripheral too, but it's different IP block...
Do you want me to switch all A31 and newer to different compatible in this
series? I can do this, but I haven't any A13 device to test if this is really
needed. Or you can argue that this is needed anyway due to missing TX
capability.
