From: Claudiu Beznea <[email protected]>

The CAN FD controller found on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC is largely compatible
with the variant present on the RZ/G3E SoC. The main differences are:
- the RZ/G3S provides only two CAN FD channels
- the RZ/G3S supports only CAN FD operation; the Channel n CAN FD
  Configuration Register does not implement the bits used to select
  classical CAN-only mode (bit 30) or CAN FD-only mode (bit 28);
  consequently, bit 31 (CAN FD Frame Distinction Enable) of the same
  register is also not implemented
- some bits in several registers (mainly reserved or status bits) are
  read-write on the RZ/G3S but read-only on the RZ/G3E; their behavior is
  otherwise identical: the bits read back as 0 on both SoCs and software
  is allowed to write only 0 to them on the RZ/G3S
- the RZ/G3S provides 256 acceptance filters, compared to 768 on the
  RZ/G3E
- the RZ/G3S can use PCLK clock as the CAN FD clock source through an
  internal clock divider, while also supporting an external CAN FD clock
  source

Since:
- the SoC clock generator provides to the CAN IP only the peripheral and
  the RAM clocks
- when sourced from the peripheral clock, the CAN-FD clock is obtained
  inside the IP itself by dividing the peripheral clock
- the assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates properties are specific to
  the CAN-FD clock
the assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates properties were dropped from
the required properties list of the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC.

Add documentation for the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC.

Changes in v3:
- updated the patch description to reflect RZ/G3S has 256 acceptance
  filters and RZ/G3E has 768 acceptance filters
- kept compatibles alphanumerically sorted

Changes in v2:
- forbid renesas,no-can-fd and renesas,fd-only since the IP supports
  only CAN-FD; for this didn't collect Biju's tag
