[PATCH 0/4] soc: renesas: Identify SoC and register with the SoC bus

From: Geert Uytterhoeven

Hi all,

Some Renesas SoCs may exist in different revisions, providing slightly
different functionalities (e.g. R-Car H3 ES1.x and ES2.0). This needs to
be catered for by drivers and/or platform code. The recently proposed
soc_device_match() API seems like a good fit to handle this.

This patch series implements the core infrastructure to provide SoC and
revision information through the SoC bus for Renesas ARM SoCs. It
consists of 4 patches:
- Patch 1 avoids a crash when SoC revision information is needed and
provided early,
- Patch 2 (from Arnd) introduces the soc_device_match() API.
I don't know if, when, and through which channel this patch is
planned to go upstream,
- Patch 3 fixes a bug in soc_device_match(), causing a crash when
trying to match on an SoC attribute that is not provided (seen on
EMEV2, RZ/A, and R-Car M1A, which lack revision information),
- Patch 4 identifies Renesas SoCs and registers them with the SoC bus.

Tested on (family, machine, soc_id, optional revision):

Emma Mobile EV2, EMEV2 KZM9D Board, emev2
RZ/A, Genmai, r7s72100
R-Mobile, APE6EVM, r8a73a4, ES1.0
R-Mobile, armadillo 800 eva, r8a7740, ES2.0
R-Car Gen1, bockw, r8a7778
R-Car Gen1, marzen, r8a7779, ES1.0
R-Car Gen2, Lager, r8a7790, ES1.0
R-Car Gen2, Koelsch, r8a7791, ES1.0
R-Car Gen2, Gose, r8a7793, ES1.0
R-Car Gen2, Alt, r8a7794, ES1.0
R-Car Gen3, Renesas Salvator-X board based on r8a7795, r8a7795, ES1.0
R-Car Gen3, Renesas Salvator-X board based on r8a7796, r8a7796, ES1.0
SH-Mobile, KZM-A9-GT, sh73a0, ES2.0
