Add fallback compatibility string for R-Car Gen 1, 2 and 3.

In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, f.e. Gen 1 and 2. But beyond that its not clear what the relationship
between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that r8a7790 is older
than r8a7791 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a descendant of the
former or vice versa.

We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.

For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme being adopted for
drivers for Renesas SoCs.

Also deprecate renesas,gpio-rcar as its name is more generic than its
implementation.

Besides for consistency, does it make sense to deprecate "renesas,gpio-rcar"
(which means R-Car Gen1) and introduce "renesas,rcar-gen1-gpio"?
It's not like new R-Car Gen1 SoCs will pop up anytime soon (do we want Linux
support for R-Car E1?).

From my PoV the only advantage of that portion of the change is improving
consistency. Perhaps it would be better to substitute it with something
like this:

	- "renesas,gpio-rcar": for a generic R-Car Gen1 GPIO controller.

That sounds good to me. But other people may disagree.
Oh, no CC to the devicetree folks. Fixed.

Totally uncontroversial DT binding changes so patch applied for next
with Geert's review tag.
