Thanks for your patch!

I think this difference is purely a software difference, and abstracted
in DTS through the interrupt hierarchy.
Does it have any impact on the bindings?

Indeed, the NMI/IRQ/TINT "Interruput" Mask Control Registers, thus
warranting separate compatible values.

Can you please elaborate? I may have missed something, but to me it
looks like that is exactly the same on RZ/G2UL and on RZ/Five.
