    The parent device is the entire block consisting of multiple processing units
    and has "global" control registers; children are LAT(s) and processing cores.

    From my understanding, the processing cores are physical cores of one big VPU
    and, depending on the actual (current gen) SoC, the VPU may have one or two
    cores.

    Right now, the bindings want vcodec-latX@addr, vcodec-coreX@addr (where X is
    a number, like vcodec-core0, vcodec-core1) but, in my opinion, changing that
    to video-codec-lat@addr and video-codec-core@addr would be more descriptive.

    ...Or should we simply leave the bindings as they are and just go with the
    abbreviated "vcodec-(hwtype)" names?

    Regards,
    Angelo
