[RFC PATCH v5 2/9] dt-bindings: media: nxp: Add Wave6 video codec device

Add documentation for the Chips&Media Wave6 video codec on NXP i.MX SoCs.

The hardware contains one control register region and four interface
register regions for a shared video processing engine. The control region
manages shared resources such as firmware memory, while each interface
region has its own MMIO range and interrupt.

The control region and each interface region are distinct DMA requesters
and can be associated with separate IOMMU stream IDs. Represent the
control region as the parent node and the interface register regions as
child nodes to describe these resources.

+description:
+  The Chips&Media Wave6 codec IP is a multi-standard video encoder/decoder.
+  On NXP i.MX SoCs, the Wave6 codec IP exposes one control register region and
+  four interface register regions for a shared video processing engine.
+  The parent node describes the control region, which has its own MMIO range and
+  manages shared resources such as firmware memory. The child nodes describe the
+  interface register regions. Each interface region has its own MMIO range and
+  interrupt.
+  The control region and the interface regions are distinct DMA requesters.
+  The control region and each interface region can be associated with separate
+  IOMMU stream IDs, allowing DMA isolation between them.
