MT8195 has two H264 encoder cores, they have their own power-domains,
clocks, interrupts, register base. The two H264 encoder cores can work
together to achieve higher performance.

This series of patches is to use enable two h264 encoder cores.
path[1..2]: use linux component framework to manage encoder hardware,
user call "mt8195-vcodec-enc" driver can get the encoder master device,
the encoding work is done by the two encoder core device. The hw_mode
variable is added to distinguish from old platform, two encoder cores
called "FRAME_RACING_MODE".

The hardware mode of two encoder cores work together(overlap, another
word called) on MT8195 called "frame_racing_mode", the two encoder
power-domains should be power on together while encoding, the encoding
process look like this:

    VENC Core0 frm#0....frm#2....frm#4
    VENC Core1  .frm#1....frm#3....frm#5

patch[3..5]: due to the component device, the master device has no
power-domains/clocks properties in dtsi, so the power/clock init function
can't use for "frame_racing_mode" device in master device probe process,
it should be called in component device probe process. Power on the
hardware power and clock on demand.

patch[6]: "frame_racing_mode" encoding need a new set of memory buffer
for two encoder cores. For compatibility, we should new a encoder driver
interface.

patch[7..9]: add "frame_racing_mode" encoding process:
As-Is: Synchronous
VIDIOC_QBUF#0 --> device_run(triger encoder) --> wait encoder IRQ -->
encode done with result --> job_finish

VIDIOC_QBUF#1 --> device_run(triger encoder) --> wait encoder IRQ -->
encode done with result --> job_finish
...

To-Be: Asynchronous
VIDIOC_QBUF#0 --> device_run(triger encoder core0) --> job_finish
..VIDIOC_QBUF#1 --> device_run(triger encoder core1) --> job_finish
(core0 may encode done here, return encode result to client)
VIDIOC_QBUF#2 --> device_run(triger encoder core0) --> job_finish

Thers is no "wait encoder IRQ" synchronous call during "frame_racing_mode"
encoding process, which can full use the two encoder cores to achieve
higher performance.
