No worries! The code above is at least consistent and matches the
common current case.

So shall we leave the SYS-DMAC as-is or change things around? I
personally don't see the point in redoing things just to change order,
so keep as-is sounds good to me.

For the "fallback" CMT DT compat strings I think we should follow the
proposal from Geert and go with "renesas,rcar-gen2-cmt0". Regarding
the per-soc CMT DT compat strings my feeling is that we should follow
the same order as SYS-DMAC to keep things consistent.

Thanks,
