Hi Simon,

Thank you for the patch.

In general Renesas hardware is not documented to the extent
where the relationship between IP blocks on different SoCs can be assumed
although they may appear to operate the same way. Furthermore the
documentation typically does not specify a version for individual
IP blocks. For these reasons a convention of using the SoC name in place
of a version and providing SoC-specific compat strings has been adopted.

Although not universally liked this convention is used in the bindings
for a number of drivers for Renesas hardware. The purpose of this patch is
to update the Renesas R-Car Timer Unit (TMU) driver to follow this
convention.

* I plan to follow up with a patch patch to use the new binding in the
  dtsi files for the r8a7779 SoC.
commit 471269b790aec03385dc4fb127ed7094ff83c16d

v2
* Suggestions by Mark Rutland and Sergei Shtylyov
  - Compatible strings should be "one or more" not "one" of those listed
  - Describe the generic binding as covering any MTU2 device
  - Re-order compat strings from most to least specific

@@ -8,7 +8,9 @@ are independent. The TMU hardware supports up to three

channels.

 Required Properties:

-  - compatible: must contain "renesas,tmu"
+  - compatible: must contain one or more of the following:
+    - "renesas,tmu-r8a7779" R8A7779 TMU
+    - "renesas,tmu" any TMU

How about matching the wording of patch 1/3 with

    - "renesas,tmu-r8a7779" for the R8A7779 TMU
    - "renesas,tmu" for any TMU.
      This is a fallback for the above renesas,tmu-* entries

Same comment for patch 2/3.

With this change,

Thanks, will do.
