[RFC V2 0/6] media: Hantro: Split iMX8MQ VPU into G1 and G2 with blk-ctrl support

Currently, the VPU in the i.MQ8MQ is appearing as one codec, but in
reality, it's two IP blocks called G1 and G2.  There is initialization
code in VPU code to pull some clocks, resets and other features which
has been integrated into the vpu-blk-ctrl for the i.MX8M Mini and a
similar method can be used to make the VPU codec's operate as 
stand-alone cores without having to know the details of each other
or the quirks unique to the i.MX8MQ, so the remaining code can be
left more generic.

This series was started by Lucas Stach with one by Benjamin Gaignard.
Most patches have been modified slightly by me.  It's in an RFC state
because I wasn't sure how to best handle the signatures and wasn't sure
if I could base it off the branch I did.

Since the g-streamer and media trees are in a constant state of
change, this series is based on

git://linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git for-v5.17e

The downstream code from NXP shows the G1 and G2 clocks running
at 600MHz, but between the TRM and the datasheet, there is some
discrepancy.  Because the NXP reference code used 600MHz, that is
what was chosen here.  Users who need to adjust their G1 and G2
clocks can do so in their board files.

Fluster Results:
