Thanks for the info!

Looking at above link, I see there are two HBMC controllers on Renesas
SoC. One is a dedicated HBMC controller(chapter 21) very similar to that
on TI SoC and a SPI Multi I/O Bus Controller (chapter 20) that also
supports Hyperbus protocol.

AFAICS, passing custom hb_ops is good enough to support both HW needs.
Let me know if something is missing. I would greatly appreciate if you
could test this series with your HW.
