In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, e.g. Gen 2 and Gen 3. 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.

v3
* Added Acks from Geert Uytterhoeven and Rob Herring
* Correct whitespace in example

v2
* Use renesas,rcar-gen2-usb-phy rather than renesas,usb-phy-gen2 as
  the new compatibility string to fit in with the preferred scheme
  for new compatibility string names.
