R-Car Gen3 please

Given

    cr7_rproc: cr7 {
        compatible = "renesas,rcar-cr7";
        memory-region = <&cr7_ram>;
        power-domains = <&sysc R8A7795_PD_CR7>;
        resets = <&cpg 222>;
        status = "okay";
    };

the pm_runtime_get_sync() is intended to power the CR7 power domain,
right?

However, I have my doubt about the (bindings for) that node, as it
does not represent the hardware.  Shouldn't the Cortex R7 have its
own CPU node instead, with an appropriate enable-method?
