Renesas ARM Based SoC DT Fixes for v4.8

* Corrections to r8a7792

Merged into next/dt, thanks!

Thanks!

I have queued up another fix for v4.8 since sending the above to you.
This time it is an SoC (C-code) rather than a DT fix. I am wondering
if you could offer guidance on:

* If you would prefer me to split fixes out into separate (DT, SoC, ...)
  branches? If so is that until around rc1 when everything has been
  merged into the forthcoming release and thereafter you would prefer
  a single fixes branch?

I prefer a separate fixes branch. It's fine for all other branches
to be based on top of this branch so you have a working baseline
for testing.

Is some sort of minimal base for the fixes branch desired?
If should the base be a merge of all the tags you have pulled for v4.8?

Currently I have DT fixes and SoC fixes which depend on
respective tags that have been accepted for v4.8.

It's hard to make those one branch without doing your own merge. You
can't take a merge out of our for-next branch as a base, since those
aren't stable.

Wait for our merges to go into Linus' tree, then use his last merge
commit as the base (before -rc1 is out).
