R-Car GPIO fallback compat string in DT of r8a7779 SoC.

This should have no run-time effect as the driver matches against
the per-SoC compat string before considering the fallback compat string.
That is not correct: the driver does not match against "renesas,gpio-r8a7779".
Hence this breaks using a new DTS and an old kernel (which we may decide not
to care about for R-Car Gen1, though).
But at least the DTS change should be postponed until commit d10bbd156926e65d
("gpio: rcar: add gen[123] fallback compatibility strings") has hit mainline.
