Note that this register does not seem to be documented, so I have to
trust you on this.

However, from looking at the LSI DEVID register address, this does not
seem to be a lone register (like the Product Register on other SoCs),
but to be part of the System Controller (SYSC).  Hence I think there
should be separate bindings for the whole SYSC block instead.
You can still read the LSI DEVID register from renesas_soc_init(),
using the SYSC node.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
