Make use of ARCH_RENESAS in place of ARCH_SHMOBILE.
This is part of an ongoing process to migrate from ARCH_SHMOBILE to
ARCH_RENESAS the motivation for which being that RENESAS seems to be a more
appropriate name than SHMOBILE for the majority of Renesas ARM based SoCs.

Hi Simon,
Thank you for the patch.

Wouldn't it make sense to drop the driver instead ? We have a DRM driver that
replaces it.

Does the DRM driver work on all hardware supported by the fbdev driver?
It's not only used on r8a7740/armadillo (through staging/board due to lack of
DT support), but also on many SH boards.

It's supposed to be a replacement (lacking support for SYS panels though), but
has obviously not been tested on SH boards.

From my point of view it would be overreach to remove the driver as we
aren't in a position to test the SH boards.
We could stop using it on the Renesas ARM SoCs and in turn remove
ARCH_SHMOBILE/ARCH_RENESAS. Am I right in thinking that would only
effect the r8a7740/armadillo at this time?

I'd be surprised if the driver still worked on those boards, but I like good
surprises :-)
