My bad, the reason for adding 1 in the end was there are two variants
of RZ/G2UL [1]. For the next respin I'll include renesas,r9a07g043u12
too.

Some IP blocks are missing in type2 compared to type1. And at the
higher level we might want to know the exact SoC type the board is
built ?

Yes will keep the compatible string.
