This morning I tested this patch applied on net-next using the
r8a7795/salvator-x  (Gen-3). My test was to boot to a user-space prompt
using NFS root which was successful. I can run further tests on this setup
if it would be useful.

Unfortunately I do not have access to hardware to allow me to test this
on Gen-2.
