i.MX legacy platforms like i.MX6/7 series, they doesn't support Write & Rea=
d Increment.
But for i.MX8MQ/MM series, it support C45 full features like Write & Read I=
ncrement.

For the patch itself, it doesn't support Write & Read Increment, so I think=
 the patch doesn't
need to add quirk support.
