I chatted offline with Mediatek. They explained that there really is
just one encoder hardware, that happens to support multiple formats.
The encoder cannot encode with both formats at the same time. The
Mediatek HW designers added a new format to an existing encoder by
adding a second interface (register set, irq, iommus, clocks) without
modifying the original interface. However in the hardware itself
there is really just one encoder device.
So, although this node looks like it is for two encoder devices (one
for each format), really there is just one device that supports each
format through its large interface.
So, I'm fine with this being a single device node.

I still think these clock names should be updated, however.
