Well, now I get the meaning, but I don't find this obvious especially
considering that contributors many, many times misunderstand "SoC
agnostic" with "generic is OK". Generic compatible is not OK for the
SoC. I think it is still the most repeated feedback from me.

I hope you will be explaining this for Renesas contributors :)
