Thanks for your patch!

and RZ/V2H has more interrupts than RZ/A1, RZ/G2L and RZ/T...

In addition, RZ/V2H does not support synchronous mode (does not matter
for the driver) and modem control signals.

Currently, sci_init_pins() does write ones to the SCPTR bits that are
reserved and marked as "write zero" on RZ/V2H. I am not sure how bad
that is.  You could avoid that by adding a check for .hasrtscts, but
that may have impact on other SoCs/boards, where currently e.g. RTS#
is always programmed for output and active low...

So if you really need to avoid writing to these bits, the only safe
way may be to add a new SCIF type.  But perhaps I'm over-cautious? ;-)
