Hi Geert,

Thank you for your time and effort to decrease the chaos in the
R-Car3 DTS jungle. Just one small comment.

This reminded me of a past contribution [*], where, based on feedback
from Laurent and Simon, the decision was to avoid DTS renaming. Does
this series mean that one day, given enough time and resources, we
might also eliminate the "r8a779[5-6]" and "(h3|m3|m3n)" redundancy in
the naming scheme of the ULCB DTS? (not that it bothers me much)

PS: [Thinking out loud] Need to get prepared for using two versions of
U-Boot scripts when switching between BSP and vanilla kernels on the
r8a77960 targets. This will definitely add a tiny bit of overhead, but
nevertheless it looks like an investment to me, the one which users
will not regret (on the contrary, will be happy about) in some years
from now.
