   See chapter 20 in [1]. Note that it's not the same SoC I'm developing for (R-Car
gen3 family, with NDA docs) but should be mostly the same RPC-IF core.

[1] https://www.renesas.com/us/en/doc/products/mpumcu/doc/rz/r01uh0746ej0200-rza2m.pdf?key=74862185b5e22ad09e648d21a35de615

   It probably would...
