Thanks for your series, which is now part of driver-core-next.
I gave driver-core-next + [1] a try on various Renesas boards.
Test results are below.
In general, the result looks much better than before.
[1] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210210114435.122242-1-tudor.ambarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
1. R-Car Gen2 (Koelsch), R-Car Gen3 (Salvator-X(S), Ebisu).
- Commit 2dfc564bda4a31bc ("soc: renesas: rcar-sysc: Mark device
node OF_POPULATED after init") is no longer needed (but already
queued for v5.12 anyway)
- Some devices are reprobed, despite their drivers returning
a real error code, and not -EPROBE_DEFER:
renesas_wdt e6020000.watchdog: Watchdog blacklisted on r8a7791 ES1.*
(rwdt_probe() returns -ENODEV)

- The PCI reprobing leads to a memory leak, for which I've sent a fix
"[PATCH] PCI: Fix memory leak in pci_register_io_range()"
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210202100332.829047-1-geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx/
- I2C on R-Car Gen3 does not seem to use DMA, according to
/sys/kernel/debug/dmaengine/summary:
-dma4chan0 | e66d8000.i2c:tx
-dma4chan1 | e66d8000.i2c:rx
-dma5chan0 | e6510000.i2c:tx
- Disabling CONFIG_IPMMU_VMSA (IOMMU) now works, good!
ignoring dependency for device, assuming no driver
- Disabling CONFIG_RCAR_DMAC works for most devices, except for
sound:
-rcar_sound ec500000.sound: probed

2. SH/R-Mobile AG5 (kzm9g), APE6 (ape6evm), A1 (armadillo800-eva)
- "PATCH] soc: renesas: rmobile-sysc: Set OF_POPULATED and absorb
reset handling" is no longer needed
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210205133319.1921108-1-geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx/
