From: Yassine Ouaissa <yassine.ouaissa at allegrodvt.com>

Add compatible for video decoder on allegrodvt Gen 3 IP.

v2:
- Change the YAML file name, use the existing vendor-prefix.
- Improuve the dt-bindings description.
- Change the device compatible identifier, from "allegrodvt, al300-vdec",
  to "allegro, al300-vdec"
- Simplify the register property specification,
  by using the simple min/max items constraint (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Remove the clock-names property. And remove it from the required
  properties list (Krzysztof Kozlowski) (Conor Dooley)
- Use the simple maxItems constraint for the memory-region property.
  Also for the firmware-name (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Example changes:
  - Use header provides definitions for the interrupts (Conor Dooley)
  - Improuve Interrupt specification using GIC constants (Conor Dooley)
  - Use generic node name "video-decoder" (Krzysztof Kozlowski) (Conor Dooley)
  - Remove unused label (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
  - Change clock reference from <&mcu_clock_dec> to <&mcu_core_clk>
  - Use hex format for reg property (Krzysztof Kozlowski) (Conor Dooley)
  - Reduce memory region size (Krzysztof Kozlowski) (Conor Dooley)

  - Link v1: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20250511144752.504162-4-yassine.ouaissa@allegrodvt.com/

+title: Allegro DVT Video IP Decoder Gen 3

+
+description: The al300-vdec represents the gen 3 of Allegro DVT IP video
+  decoding technology, offering significant advancements over its
+  predecessors. This new decoder features enhanced processing capabilities
+  with improved throughput and reduced latency.
+
+  Communication between the host driver software and the MCU is implemented
+  through a specialized mailbox interface mechanism. This mailbox system
+  provides a structured channel for exchanging commands, parameters, and
+  status information between the host CPU and the MCU controlling the codec
+  engines.
