It is a soft HDL core.
Only 1 version of it (ever)? Like other PL IP, it needs a version number (and not v1, v2, etc. made up by you). Really, your versioning scheme should be documented (like bindings/sifive/sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt), but Xilinx started versioning stuff some time back.
Also, 'master' is not considered great terminology nowadays. Perhaps the catalog name should be updated.
