Thank you!

Ca. 30% of the "presumed identical" IP blocks in R-Car Gen3 SoCs
turned out not to be that identical...

That was an early judgment error, which we regret making.
Initially, R-Car H3 ES2.0 (r8a77951) was assumed to be a slightly
improved variant of R-Car H3 ES1.x (r8a77950), while it turned out
to be a completely different SoC.
