The compatible strings should define what the device is compatible with. They
should start with the most specific compability and end with the less specific
one. In this case we definitely want to list the SoC-specific compatible
string first, even if we don't need it, as experience with Renesas SoC shows
that subtle differences between different versions of the same IP core can be
discovered later. If all RSPI cores are similar enough to be supported by a
single driver configuration, then I believe "renesas,rspi" would be a proper
second compatible string. If the RSPI cores in the SH and RZ chips are
incompatible then we need two different strings. The same is true for QSPI.
A quick look at the driver shows that RSPI is supported without caring whether
the SoC is an SH or ARM, so I believe "renesas,rspi" should do. The question
in my opinion is whether we want to use
compatible = "renesas,rspi-r7s72100", "renesas,rspi";
or
compatible = "renesas,rspi-r7s72100", "renesas,rspi-rz", "renesas,rspi";

That's right.
