87d9fa6470 dt-bindings: net: sh_eth: add R-Car Gen[12] fallback compatibility strings
Add fallback compatibility strings for R-Car Gen 1 and 2.

In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, f.e. Gen 1 and 2. But beyond that its not clear what the relationship
between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that r8a7790 is older
than r8a7791 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a descendant of the
former or vice versa.

We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.

For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme is being adopted for
drivers for Renesas SoCs.

Note that R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G1 have many compatible IP blocks.  The
approach that has been consistently taken for other IP blocks is to name
common code, compatibility strings and so on after R-Car Gen2.

c099ff3cdb sh_eth: add R8A7743/5 support
Add support for the first two members of the Renesas RZ/G family, RZ/G1M/E
(also known as  R8A7743/5). The Ether core is the same as in the R-Car gen2
SoCs, so will share the code/data with them...

b356e978e9 sh_eth: add device tree support
Add support of the device tree probing for the Renesas SH-Mobile SoCs
documenting the device tree binding as necessary.

This work is loosely based on the original patch by Nobuhiro Iwamatsu
<nobuhiro.iwamatsu.yj@renesas.com>.
