      Add fallback compatibility strings for R-Car Gen 1 and 2.
      
      In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
      SoCs, f.e. Gen 1 and 2. But beyond that its not clear what the relationship
      between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that r8a7790 is older
      than r8a7791 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a descendant of the
      former or vice versa.
      
      We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
      hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
      to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.
      
      For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
      per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme is being adopted for
      drivers for Renesas SoCs.
      
      Note that R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G1 have many compatible IP blocks.  The
      approach that has been consistently taken for other IP blocks is to name
      common code, compatibility strings and so on after R-Car Gen2.
