Indeed. Without an entry in soc_rcar_gen3[], the IPMMU is enabled
unconditionally, and soc_rcar_gen3_whitelist[] is ignored.
That's why you want an entry in both, unless you have an R-Car Gen3
SoC where the IPMMU works correctly with all slave devices present.
Perhaps soc_rcar_gen3[] should be renamed to soc_rcar_gen3_greylist[]
(or soc_rcar_gen3_maybelist[]) to make this clear?

Oops, commit 17fe16181639801b ("iommu/renesas: Add support for r8a77961")
did it wrong, too.
