    Add fallback compatibility string for R-Car Gen 1 and Gen2.
    
    In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
    SoCs, e.g. Gen 1 and Gen 2. But beyond that its not clear what the
    relationship between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that
    r8a7779 is older than r8a7778 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a
    descendant of the former or vice versa.
    
    We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
    hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
    to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.
    
    For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
    per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme being adopted for
    drivers for Renesas SoCs.
