Revert commit 1c21f240fbc1e47b94e68abfa2da2c01ed29a74d, as it stopped
the driver from working on various Renesas R-Car SoCs.
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

DT binding documentation updates were reviewed by the drm/imagination
maintainers[1][2][3], DTS additions were reviewed and/or acked by the
drm/imagination maintainers[4][5][6], and firmware is available[7].
Note that the GPU nodes were not enabled in board DTS files before, as
not having suitable firmware installed under /lib/firmware could trigger
a crash, not directly related to drm/imagination driver support. This
was fixed only recently in v7.1-rc3[8], so board enablement[9] is now
unblocked.
