Hi Conor,

Thank you for the review.

Since the RZ/G2UL SoC is ARM64 where it has a GIC and on RZ/Five SoC
we have PLIC for interrupts. Also the interrupt numbering for RZ/Five
SoC differs from RZ/G2UL SoC hence we are not directly using the
RZ/G2UL SoC DTSI [0].

For the RZ/Five SMARC EVK I am re-using the below files [1] (SoM) and
[2] (Carrier board) as the RZ/Five SMARC EVK is pin compatible.  Since
I am re-using these when trying to compile the RZ/Five DTB I get
compilation errors since the nodes dont exist (and there is no way
currently we can delete the node reference when the actual node itself
isn't present) hence these place holders.
