I have posted some patches for that a few moments ago :)


I am curious to if it is intentional that this series replaces
the use of less-specific compat strings with more specific ones
while the recent update to the r8a7790 supplemented the
less-specific renesas,irqc comat string with the more-specific
renesas,irqc-r8a7790 compat string.

i.e.
	before: "renesas,intc-irqpin"
	after:  "renesas,intc-irqpin-sh73a0"

	as opposed to

	before: "renesas,irqc"
	after: "renesas,irqc-r8a7790", "renesas,irqc"
