Hi Geert,

Thanks for your patches. They all look good in general I think.

On thing stuck out a bit with the bindings. I can see that you specify
both fifo size and use the SoC suffix for the r8a7790 and r8a7791
bindings. Isn't that a bit of redundant information there, if we know
that the SoC is r8a7790 or r8a7791 then can't we simply put that
information in r8a779x_data above and perhaps keep the binding
simpler? Perhaps same thing applies to other properties as well?

Cheers,
