This driver uses the Serial Communications Interface (SCI, cfr.
drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c) in SPI mode. Hence in theory it could be
used on a variety of Renesas ARM SoCs, and even on RZ/Five.
Again, no DT support.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
