    Full DT support won't be possible due to the driver using procedural 
platform data. Partial support will be possible using OF_DEV_AUXDATA() 
to assign the platform data to a device.

    Simon seems to be working on this. AFAIK, we don't yet have R8A7790 
based board in our inventory (neither the board manual).

    Yes, you can.
