There are more things wrong with the above:
  1. It's not multi-platform safe: any ARM kernel with sh73a0 or r8a7740
     support will treat all SCIFs and HSCIFs as SCIFA/Bs.
  2. It wasn't updated for newer SoCs, e.g.
       - r8a73a4 has SCIFA/B, too,
       - R-Car Gen2 has all of SCIF, HSCIF, SCIFA, SCIFB, which isn't
         supported by the current logic at all.

Looking into it...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
