The case for sh73a0 and r8a7740 is also covered by some of the earlier
patches in this series. So unless I'm mistaken the series should cover
all current in-tree CMT DT users that we have. I'm not aware of any
out-of-tree users.

You are right that there are more unused compat strings documented, so
those will break. I would be tempted in phasing those out somehow.
Also, I did not spend much time cleaning up the non R-Car Gen2 cases,
so in general that needs some love.

Thanks!
