According to arch/sh/Kconfig, only 7751R is supported as of
2.6.23-rc1. So if the board can be populated with 7751 or 7751R, then
the Kconfig needs to be updated. And maybe we should have two
defconfigs to make sure that both combinations build...

I built my stuff on top of 2.6.23-rc1 yesterday, but since then a few
patches have been accepted by Paul. So use the sh-2.6 tree:
