Please make the family-specific compatible value mandatory. Something
like:

+    When compatible with the generic version, nodes must list the SoC-specific
+    version corresponding to the platform first, followed by the generic
+    version.

Old scheme + missing family-specific compatible value:

compatible = "renesas,r8a7795-rwdt", "renesas,rcar-gen3-rwdt";

... and then you can drop the r8a7795-specific match value from the driver.
