FIFOInterface does not use fwft and therefore should not have this parameter.

This AsyncFIFO is always FWFT (in general there is no reason for an async FIFO not to be FWFT).

With a sync FIFO it's either:
- non-FWFT
- asynchronous reads (lots of resources used, timing issues)
- 2 cycles of latency instead of 1
The async FIFO does not have to make this compromise (the latency is already high enough from the CDC and hides the memory latency).
