The rcar_canfd driver supports R-Car Gen3 and RZ/G2 SoC's, update the
description to reflect this.

Not introduced by this patch, but the "|| ARM" looks strange to me.
Is this meant for compile-testing? Doesn't the driver compile on all
platforms (it does on m68k), so "|| COMPILE_TEST" is not appropriate?
Is the CAN FD controller present on some Renesas arm32 SoCs (but
not yet supported by this driver)?
Good catch. "|| ARM" was probably copied from CAN_RCAR config and I
can confirm CAN-FD controller doesn't exist on R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G2
32bit SoC's (but with a bit of google search RZ/A2M supports CAN-FD I
am not sure if its the same controller tough), but said that there
shouldn't be any harm in replacing  "|| ARM" with "|| COMPILE_TEST"
for both CAN_RCAR_CAN{FD}. What are your thoughts?

Cheers,
Prabhakar

          Say Y here if you want to use CAN FD controller found on
-         Renesas R-Car SoCs. The driver puts the controller in CAN FD only
-         mode, which can interoperate with CAN2.0 nodes but does not support
-         dedicated CAN 2.0 mode.

          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
          be called rcar_canfd.
