As reported before, the cache nodes should be outside the CPU nodes.

"make dtbs_check" would have reminded you:

    arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a78000-ironhide.dtb: cpu at 0
(arm,cortex-a720ae): Unevaluated properties are not allowed
('cache-controller' was unexpected)
            from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/arm/cpus.yaml#

Missing "cache-unified".

"make dtbs_check":

    arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a78000-ironhide.dtb: cache-controller
(cache): 'cache-unified' is a required property

Marc asked to move interrupt-parent to the top, i.e. one level up...

... and please keep the timer node outside the soc node.
