      clocksource: sh_cmt: Document SoC specific bindings · 01fe3aaa
      Simon Horman authored
      In general Renesas hardware is not documented to the extent
      where the relationship between IP blocks on different SoCs can be assumed
      although they may appear to operate the same way. Furthermore the
      documentation typically does not specify a version for individual
      IP blocks. For these reasons a convention of using the SoC name in place
      of a version and providing SoC-specific compat strings has been adopted.
      
      Although not universally liked this convention is used in the bindings for
      a number of drivers for Renesas hardware. The purpose of this patch is to
      update the Renesas R-Car Compare Match Timer (CMT) driver to follow this
      convention.

      * I plan to follow up with patches to use these new bindings in the
        dtsi files for the affected SoCs.
      
      v2
      * Reorder compat entries so more-specific entries and their fallbacks
        are grouped with the fallback entry coming last.
      * Explicitly document fallback
      
      v3
      * Avoid circular dependency in documentation of fallback
        behaviour of renesas,cmt-48-gen2
      * Use consistent case for SoC names in compat string descriptions
