I'd be fine with one patch adding all the compatibles for a new SoC 
where there are no other changes and take that via the soc or DT tree, 
but the Renesas folks need to figure out any cross tree dependencies 
with other Renesas changes. That's a bit harder right now with schema 
conversions though.
