Makes sense.

However, both versions (with and without automatic transmission) are
described with the same "renesas,iic-r8a7742" compatible. Is it possible
to detect the reduced variant at runtime somehow?

My concern is that the peculiarity of this SoC might be forgotten if we
describe it like this and ever add "automatic transmissions" somewhen.
