In the cover letter of this series, it was noted that the GPU
enumerates, but it doesn' fully function yet.  This is also the case
for both of the Renesas variants I have been testing, and I was nicely
asked to postpone my series until the driver was closer to being
ready.

Even if the driver isn't ready yet, it would be nice to move the
bindings forward.
