Hi Ezequiel,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I will add more detail information as below:
The block diagram is data flow, need two or more hardwares to decode
for each picture. input is input bitstream, lat hardware need input
bitstream and lat buffer to decode, will write temp information to lat
buffer when lat decode done. lat buffer is used to share lat buffer
information for lat hardware and core hardware. core hardware need
frame buffer and lat buffer to decode, will write decode result to
frame buffer.

There are one parent node, regards it as main device, each child node
as subdevices, one child node mean one hardware.

There are two work queues in main device used for lat and core hardware
to decode.

The information of each hardware will be stored in subdevices.
Enable/disable the lat clk/power/irq when hardware need to work.

The hardware is really very simple, just enable it to work when needed.
But each hardware isn't independent, need lat and core to decode for
every picture. No complex bus topology.

yes, I will try to fix the dtsi as: vcodec-lat at 10000, if it looks much
more reasonable.
