(As Sergei noted elsewhere, "renesas,rcar-usbhs" is consistent
 with what I documented elsewhere in the patch)

My understanding is that will cause the driver to operate in a different manner
to if USBHS_TYPE_RCAR_GEN2 was set. And thus meaning
of the generic and SoC-specifc compatibility strings will cause
the driver to operate differently.

Currently the only compat strings present are as follows:

* renesas,usbhs-r8a7790
* renesas,usbhs-r8a7791
* renesas,usbhs-r8a7794
* renesas,usbhs-r8a7795

And they all set USBHS_TYPE_RCAR_GEN2 (even though r8a7795 is a Gen3 SoC).

What I am aiming is either:
* A compatibility string for R-Car or;
* Two compatibility strings, one for R-Car Gen2 and one for R-Car Gen3

And for this new compatibility string or strings to operate the same
way as the current compatibility strings.


Looking over the driver its not clear to me why the
non-USBHS_TYPE_RCAR_GEN2 case is handled by the code as
there are no compatibility strings present that trigger that mode of
operation. I feel that I must be missing something.
