Hi Conor,

Thank you for the review.

Yes we do need SOC_BUS due to soc_device_register() call in [0].
Digging further I realized we can drop the above SOC_BUS as
SOC_RENESAS is selecting SOC_BUS [1]

I was under the impression we didn't come to a conclusion so kept the
patch as is. I'll just make ARCH_RENESAS visible as Geert suggested
something like below:

        config ARCH_RENESAS
            bool "Renesas RISC-V SoCs"
            select GPIOLIB
            select PINCTRL
            select RESET_CONTROLLER
