I read this assumed version registers on all R-Car SoCs, after writing
zero to 0xe6150990 (SMSTPCR8).

IMR-X2 on R-Car H2:     0x12072009
IMR-LSX2 on R-Car H2:   0x12072009
IMR-LSX3 on R-Car V2H:  0x13052617
IMR-LX2 on R-Car M2-W:  0x12072009
IMR-LX2 on R-Car M2-N:  0x12072009
IMR-LX2 on R-Car E2:    0x13091909
IMR-LX3 on R-Car V2H:   0x13052617

Note that several IDs are the same, but you know the type from the
compatible value.

It would be good to get confirmation from the hardware team that this is
indeed a version register.
