Despite it seems like I signed-off this one...

... I'm not a fan of the change :)

Hopefully someone from NXP can provide some insight here?

If it's absolutely needed for the VPU, then I guess it should
be 1) very well documented and 2) moved to the top-lovel dtsi.

But if we can drop it, that'd be nicer.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
