Hi Olof,

I agree that calling out PRR above was incorrect. Please disregard that.

However, there are dependencies for adding r8a7743 and r8a7745 SoCs
in the form of header files:

* The rzg-clock-defs tag provides dt-bindings/clock/r8a774[35]-cpg-mssr.h
* The renesas-drivers2-for-v4.10 tag provides
  dt-bindings/power/r8a774[35]-sysc.h

The drivers branches are usually pretty light-weight. But this time it is a
bit heavy and you rightly raised some questions about it. After some
discussion with Geert we'd like to suggest that for future releases
we provide a "driver-defs" branch which both driver code and DT can
depend on. Thus avoiding pulling (non essential) driver changes into the DT
branch.

Unfortunately its a bit late to do that for v4.10 as the r8a7743 sysc
driver and its defines were already accepted accepted together
(renesas-drivers-for-v4.10 tag). So for this release we would be grateful
if you could re-consider the renesas-drivers2-for-v4.10 tag given the
feedback which Geert has provided. And in turn re-consider this pull
request.
