Hi Ben

I've made one change (below) and updated the patch
CONFIG_RZ_DMAC=y ( from CONFIG_RZ_DMAC=m)
The reason being the DMA engine is core device, this needs to be enabled
for the serial device to be working and hence it needs to be built in.

I've updated the config enabled based on the groups for the reference:

##
## file: drivers/clocksource/Kconfig
##
CONFIG_RENESAS_OSTM=y

##
## file: drivers/dma/sh/Kconfig
##
CONFIG_RZ_DMAC=y

##

##
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_DU=m
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_VSP=m
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_CMM=m
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_DW_HDMI=m
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_LVD=m
CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_MIPI_DSI=m

##
## file: drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig
##
CONFIG_I2C_RCAR=m

##
## file: drivers/iio/adc/Kconfig

##

##

CONFIG_VIDEO_RCAR_VIN=m

##

##

##

##

##
## file: drivers/pwm/Kconfig
##
CONFIG_PWM_RCAR=m

##
## file: drivers/thermal/Kconfig
##

##
## file: drivers/watchdog/Kconfig

This is the second bug you've opened requesting a single driver for the RZ 
platform.  Can you provide a list of *all* the drivers that should be enabled?  
From a quick look through the Kconfig files it seems like we are also missing 
RTC, watchdog, PWM, reset, DRM, and other drivers.

Ben.
