But it does not include support for SH7724 yet, only for SH775[01]
(note to myself: still have to try it on my landisk).
Fortunately most core devices on SH7724 and Ecovec should already
have DT support in their drivers. The main missing pieces are
interrupt and clock support.
The SH7750 INTC seems to be a simpler derivative of the SH7724 INTC.
The SH7724 clock controller is very similar to those used on later
ARM-based SH/R-Mobile and even R-Car SoCs, so adding support for it
to the renesas-cpg-mssr.c driver framework shouldn't be that difficult.
