Xilinx:
When calling adi_auto_fpga_spec_params in the x_ip.tcl, parameters like
- FPGA_TECHNOLOGY
- FPGA_FAMILY
- SPEED_GRADE
- DEV_PACKAGE
- XCVR_TYPE
- FPGA_VOLTAGE
will be automatically detected and constrained to predefined pairs of values
from adi_xilinx_device_info_env.tcl
The parameters specified in the blobk diagram of the IP(bd.tcl), will be
automatically assign when the IP is added to a block design.
The "adi_auto_assign_device_spec $cellpath" is called in the init
hook (bd.tcl).

Intel:
Info parameters are set in the VALIDATION_CALLBACK according to
adi_intel_device_info_env.tcl
The DISPLAY_NAME of a module is supposed to be a short human readable
description of the IP core.
Currently this is set to the name of the IP, which already has its own
property called NAME.
This causes Platform Designer to display the descriptive labels if the IP
core basically as "$ip_core_name ($ip_core_name)".
The value that all current user of ad_ip_create pass for the description
parameter matches this criteria (And not so much the requirements for the
actual DESCRIPTION property).
Change things, so that the DISPLAY_NAME property is set to what is
currently passed as the description parameter.

Vivado recognises .h files as C header files,
the expected extension for Verilog Header is .vh
This causes issues in simulating block designs since these files
won't be exported for the simulation even if they are
part of the simulation fileset.
Allow to specify additional properties when defining a IP parameter. The
properties take the form of a list of key value pairs. E.g.
ad_ip_parameter ... { \
DISPLAY_NAME "Name" \
DISPLAY_HINT "radio" \
}
This helps to reduce the amount of boilerplate when additional properties
need to be specified for a parameter.

TCL files can be helpful to automate certain tasks like creating timing
constraints. Add handling for them to the ad_ip_addfile function.

The address width of the AXI interface depends on the size of the register
and can differ from peripheral to peripheral. Add a parameter to the
function that allows to specify the address width, this allows to use the
function for more peripherals.
Keep the current value of 16 bits as the default if the parameter is not
specified.

Add a tcl process, which can be used to generate custom module
names during the generation phase. This will be used to create
different ad_serdes_clk module, in case when independent IOPLLs are
needed for TX and RX.
