Add fallback compatibility string for R-Car Gen 1 and 2.

In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, e.g. Gen 2 and 3. But beyond that its not clear what the relationship
between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that r8a7790 is older
than r8a7791 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.

v3 [Simon Horman]
* Reworked and expanded changelog.
* Minor documentation enhancements.

v2 [Yoshihiro Kaneko]
* As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven
  drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/rcar_vin.c:
    - The generic compatibility values are listed at the end of the
      rcar_vin_of_table[].

Your patch is correct, but I would sort gen2 before gen3, though.

I don't feel strongly about this but I chose the order above to reflect the
sorting of the per-soc compat strings in this driver: numerically from
largest to smallest.
