If there is a user for such change, we could use

	compatible = "renesas,usbhs-r9a07g043",
	             "renesas,rzg2l-usbhs",
			 "renesas,rza2-usbhs";

Or

	compatible = "renesas,usbhs-r9a07g043",
			 "renesas,rza2-usbhs";


The former consumes less memory compared to the later.

As later requires, 3 platform structures for rz/g2l, rz/v2l and rz/gul
whereas the former requires just 1.


Cheers,
Biju
