Erm... that's not how we do things. You can't break one platform just to
make another work. By all means let's fix breakage on R-Car Gen3
platforms, but let's do it in a way that keeps everyone else happy as
well.

Linus,

can you squash this into Marek's original commit? I'd rather not make
that two patches because that would potentially cause bisectability
issues.
