I thought so, thanks for the confirmation.

The question then is: are they similar enough to build from one kernel
source, or will they require different sets of patches?

Have you looked at the peripherials on the SoCs? Is RZ/Five identical
to RZ/Arm in that respect? I've seen this at WinChipHead, for
microcontrollers. The reasoning again would be whether it could be
built from the same source code base.
If not, how about "rzarm", leaving room for future "rzfive"? I know this
sounds like bike shedding, but it might actually save some renaming
work in the future. Naming it just "renesas" does not feel right, IMHO.
