I believe there are two issues here:

1. Consolidating code

   From my point of view I think this is an excellent idea.
   However I would rather add this patch as-is and then
   address consolidation later.

   This avoids blocking on consolidation and I believe we have
   a pretty good record of coming back and doing consolidation
   (at least in arch/arm/mach-shmobile/) that has been suggested
   as a result of adding support for new SoCs.

2. A "renesas,rcar-gen2" DT compatible entry

   This seems to be a separate issue that depends on 1.
   I would like to treat it separately.
